Golden-hour light floods a shabby chic home office where distressed plaster meets sage beadboard wainscoting. A whitewashed trestle desk capped with galvanized zinc pairs with a vintage chair in ruffled gingham. Cream-and-mint checkerboard flooring and a faded rug add pattern and patina. French doors cast leafy shadows, amplifying the romantic, lived-in character and the calm, sun-warmed palette.
