(left) Romanek finishes her workday by “grabbing a little rosé” from the bar, which she custom made, and sitting with a book at the dining room table and stools by Danny Ho Fong. The mural is by James Mobley.

(right) “I knew I wanted something here because it’s a dead space,” says Romanek of the nook beneath the staircase. “When I found this De Sede vintage sofa in orange leather, I was like, ‘There she is.’” Above the sofa hangs a picture by Robert Pruitt.
