Seeing Green
In the dining room, a door to the kitchen was walled over, eliminating an undesirable view of the stove from the dining room and foyer. Now there’s wall space for an antique Regency sideboard and an arrangement of 17th-century botanical prints. Walls are upholstered in a celery-green cheetah fabric, also used for the draperies. A metal slider that previously stepped out into shrubs was replaced with two tall narrow windows flanking a single glass door. The door now opens to a small terrace with an iron railing edged with azaleas.
