Like all of my clients' design dilemmas, Incorporating family heirlooms and cherished furniture pieces into our new designs is a challenge I embrace wholeheartedly. Because my clients wanted their home to be a serene experience, we kept the color palette monochromatic and simple. Carrying the warm grays throughout the first floor creates flow, even in semi-enclosed rooms like this formal dining room.

This blue and white dining room, adjacent to a sitting area, occupies a large enclosed porch. The home was newly constructed to feel like it had stood for centuries. The dining porch, which is fully enclosed was built to look like a once open porch area, complete with clapboard walls to mimic the exterior. The 19th Century English farm table is from Ralf's antiques. The Swedish inspired Louis arm chairs, also 19th Century, are French. The solid brass chandelier is an 18th Century piece, once meant for candles, which was hard wired. Motorized grass shades, sisal rugs and limstone floors keep the space fresh and casual despite the pedigree of the pieces. All fabrics are by Schumacher.
