Salie House China Room

11 Bonita is a magical home where no detail was overlooked and every turn takes your breath away.  The rear entrance from the driveway is no exception.  One of the owners, who is also a designer, requested a large china closet for his collection of dishes and glassware.  Instead, architect Louis Nequette, delivered a jewel – a china room.   windowed china room with shelves for china and glassware storage

In the daytime, the best views are from inside, and at night the room glows when viewed from the courtyard.  The area also serves as a passage way to the downstairs media room and wine cellar; note the wrought iron railing at the staircase, top photo and below.

The homeowner has used the chic black crystal at parties for years and is pleased it is now openly displayed.  The home is truly the crown jewel of the neighborhood.
