Dining at Dreams
Part of this Queen Anne's history is found in the dining room, where the original furnishings (including the table and chairs, a buffet, and a china hutch) used by the Jensens remain today.
Until recent years, a bell system for calling the servant was in place in the house, including a button under the table. Evidence of a subtle change to the house's interior can be found in the dining room, whose wall was moved inward to expand the former butler's pantry into a useable kitchen.

The kitchen nook provides a less formal setting for enjoying the morning meal. With bright windows looking out onto the side yard and driveway, it is a cheery place to start the day, while being close to the heart of the action, the kitchen itself.

A bright chandalier illuminates the formal dining room, while daylight comes in through the window from the east three-season porch. On fine days, guests may enjoy breakfasting on the porch surrounded by the beauty and wildlife of the gardens.

Most often breakfast is served in the formal dining room (above). But once in a while guests may prefer to take their morning repast in another setting around the house, or even outside.
