Historic Greystone Mansion - Laura Muller / Interior Designer / Project Manager.  Inspired by the homes’ original 1920’s architecture, and period color and theme, these rooms were restored and refinished and ultimately presented to the public in the Greystone Mansion Garden and Design Showcase.  Linen Closet:  This beautiful room was designed within the “servant’s wing” to reflect its original glory and purpose.  This room originally served as a “hub” of housekeeping activity which served the main house.  The crisp white, fully restored cabinet details offset by the cool grey/green tone, hand-finished, plaster walls, and fully restored solid mahogany countertops in rich chocolate, makes this room is a dream…even today!
