Timeless Design of 1961 Lives Beautifully With 2010 Design
Combining old and new elements in a space can greatly add to the welcoming ambiance of a room. This charming desk nook is in a bedroom of a home built in 1961. Note the curved front to the desk. The top of the desk opens up and provides storage underneath. The window lets in natural light and the shutters provides shade and privacy as needed. I imagine this beautiful desk was considered rather luxurious when it was first built.
The symmetry of the closets on either side of the desk makes for an appealing
wall within the room. Abundant closet space in a bedroom in 1961— and in 2010.
A modern floral lamp works beautifully in this bedroom today.

This is a lovely room setting. I would have a small change in the ceiling lighting fixture. I would put a sweet, sexy little chandelier there instead of the existing semi-recessed fixture which doesn’t add anything to the setting. It would really make it pop.
Great idea, Flo!
