Twin Marble Mantels, an Octagonal Table & 1800s Globes in a Beacon Hill, Boston Townhouse

Beacon Hill Books and Café founder Melissa Fetter shares her elegant living room and library inside her 19th-century Beacon Hill townhouse in Boston. The living room features identical twin marble mantels original to the house, an octagonal dining table perfectly sized for eight, a pair of antique globes crafted in the very building that now houses her bookstore, a mirrored wall displaying her treasured blue and white collection, and rare 18th-century creamware. Through to the cozy library — Melissa's favorite room in the house — grasscloth walls trimmed in grosgrain ribbon, a French screen that has traveled through three homes, and an original fireplace make for one of the most inviting reading rooms in Boston.
