A hall seat for the receiving hall...


We recently finished work on the lower portion of the receiving hall.  
The old wallpaper was removed and the walls were painted in a light grey and the angylpta wallpaper received a refresh with white paint.

A few months ago the great grand daughter of the second owner stopped by and shared a few snippets on the history of the house. She told us a hall seat had always sat in the receiving hall along with a bench.


I have been on the hunt for a hall seat ever since! Recently I was lucky enough to find this one on Facebook Market Place. It needed a little work....and a lot of glue.....


I also found this cute little French table last summer on Facebook Market Place.
The little white heart of roses are luxury roses that last a year. They were perfect for the little table since the receiving hall gets very little sunlight.


This gilded French chair matches the settee.....


Have a great week friends!!!
