Handed Down and Moved Around

The dramatic cathedral ceiling, magnificent stone mantel, oak hardwood floors, warm colors, and contrasting textures in this living room convey a welcoming feel. Purchased in New York's Village district, a gilded mirror takes center stage high above the living room mantel. The six antique sconces came from eBay, and were a steal at $400. The homeowner had them rewired and buffed to look like pewter.
