eat it up: dining room inspiration.

i am starting a new project with my decorating partner and it’s a room we’ve never done before… a dining room! here’s some inspiration to get us started.

 

the client’s home is a gorgeous classic craftsman in south minneapolis. it has all those amazing details, like crown molding, plate height wood molding, a built-in buffet, coffered ceilings, and original light fixtures. it’s a designer’s dream… we could not ask for a better project house!

 

our challenge will be to unite the old classic details with modern functionality. i am thinking a neutral color scheme. most of the wood detail is a warm oak color, so finding a shade that lets the wood shine will be key.

 

what a lovely color scheme. i like the geometric texture the rug brings to the room. all the browns and grays mixed with white & black look sophisticated without being stuffy and cold.

 

i love this dining room. well, who wouldn’t want  a dining room with amazing french doors that walk outside? the ethereal curtains frame the window out perfectly. sheers are some of the best window treatments… the light shines through. and i am just in love with those chairs.

 

what a perfect color combination. the dark floors and table ground the space. the white chairs and wood accents keep the room from feeling too dark. and the touch of butter adds some color. just lovely.
