Gathering Place
As we strolled through her new country home my client mentioned she needed a dining room that could support large sit-down dinners. One tour made the interior design solution clear: her family room was the perfect dining room. We replaced the wall-to-wall carpet with an oak wood floor. The fireplace, mantel and wall above were remodeled. I chose a country trestle table with plank top, accompanied by a large country sideboard with fluted pilaster. A dramatic French tapestry highlights the lofty 18 ft ceilings and delicate oversize lanterns seem to float over the scene.
