Roman & Williams At Home

by habituallychic

01 . 26 . 11
I know not everyone likes color so I thought I’d post something a little more neutral today.  Roman & Williams partners in work and life, Robin Standefer and Stephen Alesch, live in a fabulous loft downtown that is both eclectic and elegant.  I absolutely love the kitchen and home office area with a glass enclosed library.  It’s snowing yet again in New York and I wish I could lounge around in that library reading all day.  Enjoy!

    This place is so handsome. It’s full of sophistication and intellect, yet comfortably and charmingly unpretentious. I especially love the sofa- it looks like a Sergio Rodrigues piece. Love his work. The fur over the sofa is gorgeous, I love the rug, too. (Only maybe sans the attached head) And the art collection is to-die-for. Wonderful post!

  20. Emily Amy Gallery January 27, 2011 | 12:20 pm

    So cozy and perfect. I want to curl up on that couch with that fur throw, or make a pot of soup in that to-die-for kitchen. Thanks for posting!

    Stunningly handsome space! Oh, to dream of this; what would you guess such a loft would cost today?

    WOW, those french doors leading into the library are totally inspiring me to add shelving to the home office of our new home ~ there is so much in these pictures to look at, I found myself pausing on each picture for a good minute. Thanks for sharing ~

    Wow! I’m obsessed with this home! The library and kitchen are my favorite rooms. I love the way the glossy floors reflect the laidback lived in feel!

  31. Emily Amy Gallery January 27, 2011 | 7:57 pm

    Cool, cool, cool!

    I will take it all! But really love the gallery-style wall in the dining space, and the amazing lighting fixture…

    Wow, I am one who loves colour, but these looks are beautiful. The libraries are my favourite, and I love all the lamps and lighting fixtures. Done so well!

  33. jessicarsommer January 28, 2011 | 6:30 am

    I’m in love with the leather sofa covered with the fur blanket. I want to crawl into the picture and curl up in the blankets, come back to earth a while later. 🙂 I guess for now I’ll settle for sleep on my ikea mattress…!

    I love all the light fixtures. Though the walls are neutral, the amount of photography and art and volume everything has makes the rooms seem cluttered, dark, and in some rooms, overwhelming.

    But I do love that library and the overall ‘feel’ these spaces give off is a home-body presence.

    what terrific collections:
    butterflies,
    books,
    bulb vases,
    art.
    i love the library and kitchen,
    those dark-dark floors and the bearskin rug!
