Dining Room - After.  Simple changes make this room breathe easier.  Lighter, brighter, less fussy rug in sisal.  Updated Louis XVI chairs upholstered in woven raffia.  A grand but flirty chandelier.  And different supporting furnishings to round out the collection.  Gone is the tall open shelved hutch and in it's place is a vintage mirror borrowed from the adjacent living room.  Photograph by +Danielle Gernes - GernesPhotography.com. Chairs & Chandelier from +Robb Whittlef and Historic Interiors Group - Minneapolis.
