Chesterfield I

The same arch, through the young trees

Adirondack chairs and a gravel courtyard — the back of the house has its own welcome

Cane chairs, crystal, and a table that's hosted a few stories

The arch came inside. So did the light.

Dog bowls under the island. The family lives here.

The children's art got the best spot in the kitchen

A lowcountry marsh, a brass chandelier, and Tuesday night dinner

The office that actually gets used — family photos, giraffe ottoman, and all

Teal cabinets, Gothic mullions, metallic wallpaper — the butler's pantry that outdid itself

Two stories of paneling, iron rail, and a chest that's been in the family longer than the house

Even the landing deserves a painting worth stopping for

All white, all marble, and a tub that faces the treetops

Lotus chandelier, linen bedding, and a gable ceiling that says goodnight
