Dining Room Storage Pendant Lighting Bar Light Hardwood Floors Design Photos and Ideas

Jean-Christophe Aumas’ multihued Paris apartment houses both the highly sought artistic director and the stunning assemblage of furniture he’s brought back from his travels. Aumas designed the kitchen island, which is covered in marble tiles from Carrelages du Marais—the geometric floor tiles are from the same place—and strung the matrix of lights up above it. The barstools by Charlotte Perriand were discovered in a vintage store in Antwerp, Belgium. The green wall is covered in paint from Emery & Cie.
The dining room’s preserved built-ins are another great display space.
Now, there’s casual seating at the island bar in the kitchen and a formal dining table. A built-in serving area comes in handy for storage or entertaining. Additional windows convey other qualities of the site. “We replaced the windows for lots of reasons: to increase the performance of the home, and accentuate the views they wanted,” says Porter. “But this home has beautiful woodland views, too. So, we wanted to orient the house so it's not just a one-liner, but has intimate moments where you're looking at the woods.”
Open shelves installed over a window allow light to pass through and create a reading nook in the corner of the dining area.
Custom pine cabinets hang over the dining space.

A marble "portal" breaks up the wood finishes and lowers the ceiling around the passageway between the living room and kitchen/dining area.
The renovation was designed by Akseizer Design Group and executed by Coba.
A dead tree on the lot was milled to construct the dining table, further connecting the newly designed home to its historic community.
The floors operate like wooden carpets that demarcate the space.
The red furniture system contains the kitchen and a large bookshelf.
The white oak floors are echoed in the cabinetry of the kitchen and the millwork of storage in the living/dining area.
The living, dining, and kitchen spaces flow into one another.
