Creating a Sunlit Sanctuary: A Custom Library in River Woods
A multi-generational family moved into their new home in the scenic River Woods subdivision of Parrish, Florida, and faced with a unique design challenge. The previous owners had used a large, sunlit room for a pool table, and the new family was stumped on how to transform the space. Initially, the conversation with our client began simply: “We’d like a couple of shelves around our TV.” However, this modest request blossomed into something truly remarkable.
The project resulted in a stunning, custom-built library. It now encompassed two full walls. Crafted with StarMark Cabinetry’s Cherry Bridgeport line in a natural finish, we used the rich tones of the wood to bring warmth to the room. The elegant Verde butterfly granite countertops add a touch of sophisticated charm. Together, they create a perfect balance between natural beauty and timeless design.
This isn’t just a library. It’s a space designed for modern family life. In addition to extensive shelving for their collection, the design features custom wine shelves. Additionally, clever storage concealed behind stylish cabinet doors keeps the room tidy and organized. A large picture window floods the room with natural light, illuminating an inviting reading nook with two comfortable chairs. This cozy space doubles as an auxiliary television room. As a result, it’s a perfect retreat for quiet evenings.
What was once an empty room is now an impressive, inviting sanctuary. It’s a testament to how a thoughtful design can turn an underutilized space into a cherished nook for the whole family.
