Historic Jewel Boxes - the Trenton Room
The Trenton Room was the smallest of the three bedrooms. In order to have both a writing desk, and a chair suitable for reading, a reproduction secretary desk was used in the space, allowing for more room next to it for the chair, which can be used for reading, or pulled up to the secretary desk as needed. Each desk has a writing pad, a guest book about the space, and with helpful guest information. On top of this desk is another New Jersey soldier. The New Jersey Blues ( the 3rd New Jersey) wore a distinctive blue uniform coat with red facings. This inspired the red banding on the window treatment. Nailhead trim on the chair adds a handsome bit of elegance to the space. Bob Narod, Photographer. Design by Linda H. Bassert, Masterworks Window Fashions & Design, LLC.
