The dining room hutch vignette got some updating in honor of the freshly installed dining room chairs.
I pulled together some of my vintage ceramic collection comprised of muted tones to play off the parchment color of the Eames chairs, the warm teak of the dining table/hutch and amber tones of the vintage Danish ceiling light.
The dining room is now very monochromatic and pulled together in a minimalist style that I’m usually not very comfortable with…like neutral and rustic or something. Those words would have NEVER described my design sensibilities in my head – but I hope that it all turned out looking surprisingly sophisticated.
I’m not a huge fan of taupe, beige or the typically ascribed go-to safe neutral colors, but recently I’ve been digging a more subtle and minimal pallet. I’d still love to find a GIANT Bumling light in red or some bold color to really make a big impact above the table.
I’m dubbing the dining room: AKA Brown Town. For now…till it changes again, as it always does.
Oh god, I just went back in the archives to see what the dining room used to look like when we first moved in. Yuck, what a hot mess.
