Dining Room with Antebellum 'Feel'


The bones of this house 'feel' antebellum.  


Though it's ca. 1900.  


                                               Architect & owner knew what they were doing.


                        Doors, molding, ceiling height, scale & flow redolent of an earlier era.


Dining room, above, flows into the front parlour, and also the central hall and kitchen.

It's great drama between these rooms with function, paint color, and natural light.  A treat to see a tapestry of color instead of the ubiquitous mono-color shown in most magazines and catalogs.

Pics from same home/garden as previous post.  They've only lived in this home since last August.  It's obvious I'm running all cylinders to balance the interiors with an equally detailed rich-in-history garden.

  1. Beautiful colors too. I love the built-in china cabinet in the dining room.

  2. I certainly like that approach with some bold color inside or outside. Funny that many folks can do it inside, but shrink to nondescript outside...
