Meet Shelley’s Dining Room
Shelley has a beautiful house with warm colors and rustic accents. Her dining room, however, has been pushed to the bottom of the list. Below are pictures of the dining room before she purchased the home, and then its current state. She had a cut-out window created in one wall to open the room up and allow her to see her children playing while she is with the ‘grown-ups’ in the dining room.
Below I have put together a few ‘inspiration rooms’ that Shelley likes and can help us choose the right pieces for dining room.
This is the ‘inspiration board’ that I put together for Shelley. It has my suggestions for the room, including:
1. Warm pumpkin color for the walls. (This has been Shelley’s vision and will tie her warm beige sitting room with her sage green kitchen nicely)
2. Dark chocolate rug, to weight the room and make it cozy {hillsdale home}
3. Earthy pendant lamp – ties in with her beautiful tree mural in the neighboring room, color will look great with warm pumpkin wall color. {pier 1}
4. Amy Butler fabric for dining room chair pads. Introduces green color and dark cushions make for kid-friendliness. {fabric.com}
5. Wouldn’t it be cute if each dining chair had a rectangular lumbar pillow? This would make the dining room homey, add color, texture and comfort! {west elm}
6. I can’t get enough of the candlesticks – great for color and intimate lighting. {pottery barn}
7. Cream striped curtains add height to the room, and evens out the saturated colors. {target}
8. Beautiful pumpkin-colored boroque salad plates for fun {pottery barn}
Now, these aren’t requirements, they are inspiration. So what do you think? What would you add?
