Your Favorite Dining Rooms of 2022
It’s time to review some of the year’s best dining rooms from House & Home.
Lynda Reeves’ Lakehouse Dining Room
Lynda surrounded her dining table with mustard velvet chairs from the House & Home collection for HomeSense in her wood-panelled lakehouse. “The chairs are very comfortable; I bought all I could find and stored them for someday. The amber chandeliers are vintage from Stanley Wagman Antiques. They add a hit of grandeur to the room. The art is Dana Claxton. The armoire is a French country piece I’ve had in every house I’ve lived in. Here, it’s the essential dishes closet,” she says.
