The French wine-tasting table in the breakfast box bay belonged to Margot’s father and is a treasured heirloom. Portières in a wheat-colored nubby Provençal plaid add definition and softness. The bay looks out on the fields and provides abundant light, while wing chairs in a muted paisley offer comfortable, graceful seating designed for lingering. For a full room tour, watch the video above led by Mary Evelyn McKee, interior designer of the 2021 Flower showhouse.
