Classing things up a bit

Thursday, May 7th, 2009

I’m slowly adjusting to the dining room to be a little more sophisticated? Is that what I want? I don’t know, maybe cohesive… At least I got some pretty things for my hutch. Damn you ebay.

The dreaded vignette. Still trying to perfect the art of styling…

I think instead of the tulip chairs the perfect chairs for the dining room would be a set of cream Eames DSR chairs with black eiffel tower bases. Gorgeous!

The internet has spoken

The dining room face off has ended with a resounding – move the goddamn hutch to the other side.

So here it is.

I did think the hutch looked better on the other side of the door – but I can admit I was wrong. I’m not totally psyched about the needlework fruit bowl art, but I will eventually find something that will work better. The lady portrait was way to large to fit in the area next to the door and has found a new home elsewhere.

Some folks thought it might be nice to turn the table the other way – door to door. The dining room is pretty shallow and doesn’t allow for the full length of the table without intruding into the living room. Oh well…that table is pretty big.



Now I just need beautiful things to display on my pretty pretty hutch.

But now that I look at things I am starting to yearn for something more minimal, more dramatic, very sexy, and less mid century. Dammit.

Old dining room


VS.

New dining room

In a no holds barred battle for layout superiority. Thoughts?
