A historic cased opening includes two new custom columns handmade by a local craftsman. The columns frame the inviting view into the dining room from the adjacent living room located off the front door of the home.

A six-foot round wood table with tongue and groove construction sits center stage in the dining room, surrounded by historic windows that bring lots of natural light inside.

Two classic-style tufted wingback accent chairs with a nubby gray-blue fabric provide extra seating for conversations and larger dining room gatherings.

Four perfectly symmetrical squares create the dining room’s new 10-foot high coffered ceiling, which adds architectural interest and gives the space a high-end feel. The space previously had a dropped ceiling that was flat and lacked character.
