 | Welcome! Come right in, have a seat beside me in one of these patinaed leather chairs. |
No, really. Come on in and put your feet up. Read a magazine – just relax.
What a lovely, peaceful palette – rich browns and creamy tans. Textures like painted wood paneling, luxurious leather and fabrics, and the perfect mixture of lighting – overhead lanterns, glowing sconces, and lamplight perfect for reading.
What’s that, you say? Time to come where? Back where? But, I really like it in here. I was just settling in, for pete’s sake.
You almost made me forget why I came! Geesh, here we go.
Did you guess I was at the dentist’s office? Well, my dentist’s office is so lovely and soothing, it’s (almost) a joy to get your teeth worked on! Since there are few windows in this office, why not wrap up in a warm soothing color like cocoa? It looks like Benjamin Moore’s Whitall Brown HC-69 on the walls. Works wonders when nerves need soothing . . .
This little modern chair is fabulous. A decidedly modern take on lace, wouldn’t you agree? They paired these dark walls with light limed wood flooring – coffee and cream perfection.
Even the sinks are stylish.
I *adore* this art grouping – retro dental advertisements framed in burled wood. I think these walls are something akin to Benjamin Moore’s Carrington Beige HC -93.
Bet you’ve never seen art this attractive in your dental office. I think this is wallpaper here, but the color looks like Benjamin Moore’s Brookline Beige HC-47.
My dentist, Dr. Jamie Burton, is really lucky because his wife, Lauren, did this office design herself. But why can’t all commercial offices be this fabulous? I think we’d all have more fun going to the dentist if they were. I just wish they’d make me wait in the lobby a little longer – unfortunately, they’re always on schedule!
I don’t suppose you know where they found those little lacy chairs? I have seen them used on HGTV a few times and have drooled and dreamed since. But to no avail I cannot locate them. Do you have any info?
I have seen them before and can’t recall where (maybe West Elm?) – I will ask my dentist and let you know, Marcie!
Marcie,
That chair is from West Elm ($99), but they don’t seem to be carrying that pattern anymore. Here’s a link to the patterns they currently have: http://www.westelm.com/products/scoop-back-chairs-f887/?pkey=cdining-chairs-seating
Very clever! You and your “eye teeth.” I was a little nervous about what the post would be about. 🙂 Love, love the armless settees with the contrasting piping. Wouldn’t they look great in a breakfast nook?
what, did you think it had something to do with vampires??? those settees are beautiful, and they are also VERY comfy.
After your “staging a snow fort” post, I was actually expecting a tour of the tooth fairy’s cottage!
Why did they have to wait til I moved to totally update the office???
He’s my dentist, too, but I haven’t been in ages. You’ve inspired me to make an appointment! Wait… I don’t think that was your point in this blog, was it? But I do LOVE what they’ve done with the place.
it’s been this way for awhile, so i’m thinking you really have been remiss about taking care of your teeth, michelle . . .
I think I’d be at the dentist every week if the office looked like this! thanks for sharing.
my dentist’s office is stuck in the 90s – everything is southwest, down to the howling coyote wearing a bandana
oh lee, that is just . . . bad. seems like anything howling in a dentist’s office lobby is some really bad foreshadowing . . .
