This dining room used to be the clients family room. The fireplace was no longer safe, and with the expanding family and friends list, the room was no longer functional as the entertainment area it used to be. Re-designing the main floor rooms to suit the family’s needs, within the footprint took some imagination, and convincing. The happy ending to this story is that the clients love their new dining room that can seat 22 guests comfortably. The fireplace adds a cozy ambiance. The storage is like none other. The client can now have a place for all of her china, and themed dinnerware. There is also storage for wine, and alcohol. The smoked mirror reflects the seasons in the garden. From the stunning magnolia tree, to the falling snow, this is a romantic space for 2 or 22. Bon appetite! (seethe upcoming Kitchen Expansion Project, for the reconfigured space of the old dining room)
