Swoops Dining Room
This room was originally separated from the kitchen by a wall. We removed that wall to open up the space and created a corridor with large windows at either end and a skylight-well in the center of each room.
The dining room floor is the kind of Vermont slate often found in the foyers of mid-century Midwestern homes – although typically there are some deep red or burgundy accent tiles included in the repeating pattern. Most of these came from a bin that a local remodeler had dropped off at the local salvage warehouse. We removed the red tiles from our installation and added tiles from two other sources – salvaged and secondhand – to get enough tiles to complete the pattern in our desired color scheme.
The thresholds leading to the adjoining kitchen and library were made from reclaimed urban walnut.
