This "jewel box" of a space was once a mundain dining room -with "cake icing" wainscotting, and no windows.  The interior now exhudes elegance and sophistication.   The impetus for the design was the purchase of two chinoiserie Edwardian etageres once owned by Eleanor Stout McRae - Georgia's first registered female pilot.  The etageres were sketched by Philip T. Shutze when designing the dining room of Dr. & Mrs. Floyd W. McRae.  The windows were salvaged from the Shutze designed home of builder William Thompson, the glazing being replaced with mirror.  The flooring is American Black walnut and salvaged from "Boxwood House", the Ansley Park home of James Swann Floyd.  The floors were originally installed in 1928 to celebrate the wedding of Frances Floyd & Emory Cocke.  The Georgian kneehole desk was once owned by Harry Norman, jr.   The trim was leftover stock from another project.
