breakfast room, left,
hosts items from all
over the world, and they
coexist happily. An IKEA
tulip table lurks under
a custom-sewn indigo
tablecloth, with leather
chairs surrounding. In
the corner is a quirky
elephant sculpture by a
French artist—years ago,
Michelle borrowed it for
a Domino shoot, and
she got attached. “This is
coming home with me,”
she remembers thinking.
“It’s wild but I love it.”
“OPEN SHELVES MAKE
YOU EDIT YOUR
THINGS,” MICHELLE
SAYS. “THEY MAKE YOU
BE PRETTY HONEST
ABOUT WHAT YOU’VE
GOT, AND THEY MAKE
THE KITCHEN AIRIER,
BRIGHTER, AND NICER
TO BE IN.”DO ITBETTER
LIGHTING MAKES ALL THE
DIFFERENCE IN DECOR.
