Part 8/11:
The mansion’s interior reflected a blend of formal elegance and relaxed charm:
The breakfast room was designed like a lush garden, with creeping vines and covered windows that fostered a garden-house atmosphere.
Common rooms, such as the library, featured rich wood paneling and simple yet crafted furnishings to encourage leisure and intellectual pursuits.
The drawing room combined ornate woodwork, plaster moldings, and elegant wallpaper with casual, tropical touches like wicker furniture and potted palms, creating an inviting yet sophisticated ambiance.
Fresh flowers were brought in daily, adding vibrancy and life to the space, emphasizing the estate’s connection with nature.
