The Keeping Room is done in a comfortable, unpretentious, yet sophisticated, country design. .


The warm earthy palette complements the extensive wood paneling throughout the room. Folk art objects, as well as the three dimensional stencil above the large cooking fireplace, add the all-important touch of whimsy.


This room demonstrates how well antiques blend with reproductions to achieve a period look.
