Dining Room

A gracious table and elegant setting invite family and friends to gather ’round at our Brierfield Farm showhouse

The dining area, while in an open space, has individual character with a mix of styles and textures: woven-rush side chairs and wicker host armchairs; a bronze chandelier with long, graceful arms; and, for the curtains, a fabric with a stylized botanical paisley pattern reminiscent of suzani. For a full room tour, watch the video above led by Mary Evelyn McKee, interior designer of the 2021 Flower showhouse.
