The Cook’s Blue Room

A 9-by-11-foot box with no natural light and no architectural charm, handed over to its three-year-old editor-in-chief. Leo chose Farrow & Ball Cook’s Blue from six swatches, helped paint the walls himself, and won his campaign for glossy red trim. His books and treasures live in a real wooden boat, a $150 Facebook Marketplace secretary desk hauled home from New Mexico. Above the window hangs the cornice from Reilly’s own childhood bedroom, stripped of its pink-and-green florals and re-covered in a whimsical Jim Thompson fabric from Thailand. By day, it’s a room for adventure and play. By night, a nebula light from his godmother dissolves the ceiling into drifting stars.
