The dining room in the lake house above is one of my favorites in Lauren Leiss's book Habitat, but when it was published in the Washingtonian last month it took my breath away all over again. Every time I look at it, I'm reminded that beautiful does not equal stuff. Every wall doesn't have to have something on it. […]
