House & Garden 
The dining-room below is a close approximation to a perfect room. 
Its architectural background is Adam. Color scheme is silver and 
black. Black and grey marble forms the floor; the walls are grey, 
paneled and capped with an Adam frieze. Fixtures and mirror are 
silver. Furniture is enameled black with buff medallions and uphol¬ 
stered in silver and black velour

Here was the problem faced in the living-room above: 
walls paneled in narrow boards and an tmsealed 
ceiling, the house being a mountain camp. It was 
given a touch of formality by the long table and an 
intimate air by the fireplace grouping 
Compare the chaste severity of the Adam dining-room above with the 
richness of the Queen Anne room below. Both are true to period and 
both have striking individuality. In the Queen Anne room the two 
focal points are the mirror and the over-mantel painting
