Lake Forest Showhouse 2025

The Lake Forest Showhouse Dining Room reimagines the traditional dining experience, transforming it into a whimsical and versatile lounge space. Featuring the original fireplace designed by Frances Elkins, this room is a blend of sophistication and playfulness. The rich chocolate brown plaster coved walls provide a luxurious, moody foundation, while the furniture—adorned in bold, playful floral patterns—brings an unexpected elegant touch. Whether hosting a lively cocktail party, enjoying an intimate dinner, or post-dinner lounging, this space effortlessly adapts to any occasion. With its balance of refined details and cheerful touches, the room offers a welcoming environment for any occasion.
