The family room is furnished with an eclectic mix of items. It includes an opium table from the 1800s. "It's the first piece we bought ... when we married," Melissa Rovner said. The rug, weaved in Madagascar, is made of grass fiber and bound with brown leather. The 10-foot antique armoire is made of French walnut, and all the draperies in the home are Belgian linen.
