I loved the graceful demilune tables that flanked the front doors and the classic ceiling moldings in the sitting room.
I also wanted to move the existing ceiling moldings to the outer tops of the bookshelves, to give them a truer built-in look.

Interior details are generally classical with dentilled ceiling moldings, pilaster strips, and frieze.
Also in the neo-Classical style is a stately central hall and a parlor with ceiling moldings and a huge white marble fireplace.
Traditional ceiling moldings were usually composite, and they featured a length of crown molding in the profile.
Behind it the main entrance leads into a narrow vestibule and then a wide side hallway with detailed ceiling moldings.
