I have featured many houses on the blog this year, and one of my all-time favorites is the renovated country house of Clarence & Graves. The dining room has a fireplace with a raised hearth inspired by the open fires found in traditional Italian kitchens. The walls are painted in “Dead Salmon” by Farrow and Ball.

I have featured two Scandinavian log houses with beautiful dining rooms this year. On the left, is the dining area in a Swedish log house. And on the right, you see the light dining room in a Norwegian log house.
