ROOM TO READ Filled with family mementoes and favourite books, the library in the home of Windsor, Ont., decorator Mable Cheung is where she and her family read, relax and make memories to last a lifetime. TEXT MARTHA UNIACKE BREEN PHOTOGRAPHY VICKI BARTEL
Children’s Corner The bottom shelf of the library features books Mable and her husband Bogdan loved as kids, as well as a set of children’s encyclopedias purchased volume by volume by Bogdan’s mother when he was little. All are within reach of Elliana and Nikolai, who – at 7 and 5 respectively – are already avid readers. A reading lamp, side table and sofa with a cozy blanket are just right for curling up with a book. DESIGN, Mable Cheung, Interiors with Mable. PAINT, Onyx 2133-10, Benjamin Moore.
