Dining Room Seating

French settee provides extra room for guests.

Large, leaded glass windows in designer Julie Charbonneau's dining room are a stunning backdrop for a French settee at the end of the Louis XV-style wood table. A sisal rug paired with the original white oak floor and antique furniture prevents the space from feeling too stuffy.
