Central Virginia’s premiere decorating source
2006 Richmond Symphony Showhouse
More than just for dining; the
space we designed for the
2006 Richmond Symphony
Showhouse was also a
sanctuary for crossword
puzzles and coffee, games or
music practice. A cello stood in
one corner and an oil painting
featuring a piano demanded
attention above the sideboard.
Every room we have designed
for a Symphony Showhouse
has had a musical element. In
addition to the traditional dining
table, two Parson’s Chairs with
a game table between served
as a focal point in the recessed
window area. Embroidered silk
draperies in the same shade of
sage green as the tray ceiling
and accents of reds and blues
created a warm and inviting
room. Our goal was to
encourage our visitors to use
their dining rooms as a non-
media entertainment spot.
Several people have told us
since that they were inspired to
use their dining rooms more
often – our goal achieved!
As in all our Showhouse
Rooms, we considered the
exterior architecture of the
home and created a room
reminiscence of a French
countryside manor.
