Dining Delight

A long, narrow table against the wall of windows serves as a library table when not in use for dining. The mahogany trestle table base supports a wrapped aluminum top. Water hyacinth chairs are an economical alternative to wooden chairs and pick up the black tones of the room's picture frames.
