“We developed an interior concept that would maintain the home’s history and continue to reflect the personality of the family,” says designer Cox. “For example, the footprint of the dining room did not change, but additional ceiling height was captured during the renovation, and new wood floors were installed. The raffia-covered walls had been redecorated over the years with white paint. We took them back to the original concept by choosing an updated, natural raffia-weave wall covering.”

The family’s antique dining table was retained; the side chairs were reupholstered in summery stripes. The host chairs were custom-made to provide extra seating.
