The wooden spinning wheel remains in the study at Belle Grove. 
A simple blue and white color scheme accents the fireplace mantel 
as well as the window shutters.

into the fresh but relaxing atmosphere of this sitting room.
 

Belle Grove Gold Bedroom

A variety of greens were popular in the 19^th century. 
This subtle shade of green is contrasted with the rich gold trim, 
giving the fireplace mantel a dominate focus in the room.
 
 

Harmonious colors, found on the plantations of long ago, 
accentuate the architectural features on this two story home.
 

Oatlands 
Leesburg, Virginia
Traditional green shutters and white columns highlight the 
architectural features of this turn of the century Federal Style Mansion, 
once a 19^th century neo-classical working plantation.
 

Inspirations of the same colors transform this contemporary 
house and its landscape into an inviting, gracious home.
 

Montpelier Mansion
Montpelier Station, Virginia
Built in 1760, this heroic scale mansion was the lifelong home of James Madison. 
Painted in muted peach with classical Tuscan white columns, this historic estate is surrounded by a National Landmark Forest and formal gardens.
