Mood Indigo - Part 4

Reception Rooms

Some houses were made for hosting great events and parties, and the principal rooms on the ground floor here could happily accommodate receptions of an ambassadorial scale. The drawing room could easily double as a ballroom; the  grand piano is already in position. And it would be no surprise to find yourself sitting next to a crowned head of state in the dining room.

And when the party's over, there's a more informal space to retire to.

Wow, how opulent. What would I wear if ever invited? That's what's going through my mind.

I can also see an ambassador or president dinner happening here? Would love to be fly on the wall.

Fantastic photos.

A drawing room is a room in a house where visitors may be entertained. The name is derived from the sixteenth-century terms withdrawing room and withdrawing chamber, which remained in use through the seventeenth century, and made its first written appearance in 1642 (OED).
