BELOW TOP & BOTTOM LEFT: This once Louis XVI-designed dining room was redesigned with a nod to Ralph Lauren. New curved back chairs are upholstered in rich
black velvet f rom Holly Hunt Great Plains and you'll notice the teal and metallic gold Schumacher draperies tasseled back with exquisite tie-backs f rom Samuel & Sons.
The addition of antiqued mirrors on specific walls opens the room up and reflects the sparkle of the original chandeliers to which black shades were added for a modern
update. The clients original one-of-a-kind antique curio complements the room, as does its unique curiosities. Preserved red rose arrangements crown the refinished table
that's accented with Baccarat crystal and fine silver. This room was honored with the top National Award Design by IDS.

BOTTOM RIGHT: This dining room became a show-stopper; light-colored walls and simple GP&J Baker linen draperies accent the striking black floor-to-ceiling windows
f raming Minneapolis' magnficent skyline. A unique zig-zag leather by Edelman Leather adorns the host chairs, and a Clarence House striped fabric was used in combination
on the side chairs, echoing the clean lines of the windows. The dining table was the client's own piece and was refinished to its original luster. A Gregorius Pineo chandelier
hangs in statement above the table and is complemented with antique sconces. Formations simple moss pots lend an organic touch to the finished aesthetic
