Dining Room by Arabella Fine Gifts and Home Decor “If you want my very best work, you have to trust me,” says Patrice Senac of Arabella, who designed the dining room of the showhouse, along with the upstairs guest room and bath. “When you are working in design, there is no such thing as one right answer,” she says with a smile. She should know—she has been working with clients for a long time. Senac has owned and operated Arabella Fine Gifts and Home Décor in Mandeville for the past 13 years. In keeping with the open and airy floor plan, the dining room is also an unclouded space. The dining table boasts a fabulous gold “pick-upsticks” base with a glass top; it is surrounded by Christopher Guy X-back chairs, with the head winged-back chairs upholstered in a subtle grey and plum velvet floral. An amethyst centerpiece bowl is accented by Michael Aram place settings. The cowhide rug is by Tyler Spring. >>
