Dining room dreaming...

can you see the vision?

I don’t know about you but our home is full of a variety of different furnishings and textiles that we have either inherited or purchased second hand. We have a few pieces that we have that are on the nicer side, but with kids, a dog, and limited funds over the years I have figured out how to make things work.

One thing I have never purchased is a dining room table and chairs. Doug’s parents were gracious enough to gift us their old one and we inherited the chairs to go with it. It’s a sturdy table and has done the job but after nearly 23 years, I’m about ready to do something on my own.

I’ve been dreaming about what I want my dining room to look like for while now and it has definitely taken on a few iterations. But on a recent visit to Ballard Designs I happened upon this wallpaper and fell in love. Things escalated from there and now I have a full design plan in place for the dining room (if there is one tip I’d share on designing spaces it is to find that one thing that lights you up - paint color, light fixture, rug, wallpaper - and start designing from there.)

currently…

I thought about color drenching the room, but with our open floor plan I don’t think it will work so will plan to make everything from the chair molding down a high gloss in the same color as the molding. We did want a pop of color and while I am afraid that I might get sick of these pink chairs, I do think they will be super fun in the space!

And for a little extra punch of fun, I’d love to commission something like this for the table. A splurge, but her pieces are gorgeous!
