An inviting bay-window nook defines this shabby chic living room: an L-shaped built-in bench in distressed cream wood topped with plush flax-linen cushions. Fern botanical prints lean along the back, and a ruffled linen throw pools beside a terracotta urn of daisies. A scalloped pedestal table in faded mint echoes the sage-and-cream checkerboard floor. Sunlight through multi-pane windows and a warm brass sconce complete the gentle, timeworn charm.
