The following is a few words to sum up my thoughts and turn you towards the path of my reflections. Stair Hall Your residence being firmly pronounced by a French 18th century style, I would reckon to give the main stair case its whole architectural value by highlighting a mineral wall decor in white stucco, recessed paneling, noticeable architectural elements (such as pilasters, chambranles niches...) which will enhance and structure several walls, insisting on: • Changing the fireplace by a decor with a central niche which could possibly receive a earthenware stove and stucco wall panels. • Recomposing the entry line by modifying both vestibules into an oval shape. • Creating a 2 steps landing to get to the stairs. • Redesigning the first flight of stairs with stone steps. • Walling up underneath the stair case and treating this part with white stucco the same way as the rest. • Stone and cabochon flooring between the oval vestibules the latest having a peripheral frieze and a central rosace. On the second floor, I would suggest to replace the mirrors by: • Painted woodwork with an end of the 18th century style. I also recommend to extend this decor into the vestibules which will be rethought and redesigned (modification of the chambranles) • Another alternative would be to use stucco panels on the walls facing the stairs and to recreate woodwork decorated vestibules to introduce the different rooms. From a decorative point of view, I strongly suggest to give back the stair case its greatness using a central lantern as well as a contemporary sculpture, the latest would structure the bottom of the stairs. To conclude, my advice is to give a 18th century arrangement to the place in which you could also exposed some contemporary works of art according to your current mood and wish. Dining Room I was my understanding that the dining room is the place where you like to spend time and work most of the days, as well as receive your clien
