EACH WEEK, WE ask an Irish person with a passion for interiors to share one photo of their favourite spot in their home.
Geri O’Toole Glynn and her husband Cathal moved into their self-build cottage in the Limerick countryside in 2016.
“As an interior designer, when I see a space it flows from my mind,” she says.
“With clients I obviously put my ideas on paper, but for my own home I just pulled things together from my own head.”
This week, Geri (@geri_designs) talked us through her favourite space in her home: her open-plan kitchen and dining room.
I love the double height space as you don’t expect it in our cottage. I love the antique picture I have over the reclaimed oak beam we added to the cottage and the antique antlers also. I love cooking and spending time with the family here in the evenings when we are home from work.
I love a home to feel lived in and have soul and that’s what I achieved here by mixing antiques and new pieces, and adding features like beams.
The lights, which are black-bronze, hanging over the table are from Browsers Interiors, and the dining set and rattan bar stools are too. The kitchen is by Neptune from Browsers Interiors also.
I think it gives a good sense of style because in the rest of our home I have a mix of modern and antique furniture too.
A lot! And I added some fresh flowers for the picture.
