Beautiful built-ins

I've lived in quite a few old houses and one thing I love about them are the built-in features. Bookcases, desks, window seats - they add so much charm and personality. How about you? What's your feeling on built-ins?

serene office - my desk is never that clean though - as I use it to work on... :)

I love this room. The curtains hung lower ads a lot of dimension to the room I think...

Sarah Jessica's Bright and Lovely Hampton's Home

It was very important to Sarah Jessica and hubby Matthew Broderick for their Hampton's home to be comfortable, and free of fuss. The house was originally featured in Elle Decoration UK - but it's also in Elle Decor's book, So Chic, so I'm not 100% positive... Her friend, Eric Hughes helped her achieve a relaxed abode by mixing antiques with thrift store finds and pieces from IKEA with custom-designed furniture.

Keep the children away from the crayons

...because magic eraser isn't undoing any damage done to these walls! Hand-painted wallpaper and silks and velvets oh my!
