Viewed through an ornate wrought-iron screen, a Gothic dining hall features a massive live-edge wood table on a charred stump pedestal, surrounded by deep blue velvet chairs. Pointed arches frame a dark blue ceiling painted with gold stars and a candlelit crystal-and-brass chandelier, while weathered stone walls, leaded glass windows, checkerboard stone flooring, heavy navy curtains, and a blue-and-gold tapestry sit before a dramatic stormy sky backdrop.

Patinated teal floor candelabras with lit candles line the walls, casting warm light that contrasts with cool daylight from the skylight. A stone-trimmed doorway opens to an adjacent space, emphasizing the room’s cathedral-like atmosphere.
