Italian Villa in a Broadmoor Dining Room

Broadmoor Area Dining Room by Ruthie Lowen

Adding interest and depth to a small,  dark, formal dining room is one of Ruthie Lowen’s expansive Italian village scenes. Rivers meander between a hilltop village and a baronial wineyard estate. Ready for harvest, trees laden heavily with fruit border the lower stream.

In one of Ruthie’s signature touch, she has painted Lucy, the family pet into the scene, waiting for her owners to catch up to her before she crosses the stone-studded bridge.

All the dining room walls were faux-finished to capture the feel of Tuscany and to wrap the diners in an atmosphere reminiscent of an Italian Villa.
