Please Help My Dining Room
Comments (12)Your home is very charming, and even more so because it's not "on trend". I see it as warm and inviting, interesting and not "old fashioned." I like how the dining room is and think the cabinet looks great there. I agree that I would either move the chandelier over a few inches and center the table under it, or just leave as is and pull the table away from the cabinet a bit when I had guests. Really, when you are seated at a table it's much more difficult to discern whether it is exactly centered under the light or not. I can't see it too well, but I think I have the same antique child's rocker. It was my mom's, given to her by her father when she was about 3, so 1920. My 4 year old grandson now has it. I would keep it somewhere that you can enjoy it, either where it is or someplace else in the main living area....See MoreHelp me re-design my unused formal dining room!! Open to advice please
Comments (10)Is another living room the greatest need you have in your house? Will it be for the kids to hang out in? Or a quieter adult retreat? We turned our dining room into a home office with matching desks facing each other placed in the middle of the room, so together they are about the same size as a dining table. It looks like it might be large enough to fit a modestly sized sofa in there, with a small round table with 2-4 chairs that you could use as a gaming table. Any musicians? What about a music room?...See MoreWhich of these works in my dining room as a plant stand? Please help!
Comments (16)I did some rearranging! Does this look a little better? Trying to convince the husband we need to get rid of the end tables...sigh. I think he's willing to let the baker's rack go, but I'm gonna have a fight on the end tables. Maybe he'll let me put them in the basement. Please excuse the clutter in the dining room....tchotchkes need to be rearranged or gotten rid of. I put a few things on FB marketplace and have gotten some interest. If I can't get any $ for things, I can donate. Salvation army took our old sofa so there's always that option....See MorePlease help me make my dining room inviting
Comments (23)Woah celerygirl!! That is awesome! Thanks. Ok a few questions. I like all three mock ups. Where do I find the curtains and rug in the first photo? I like the black and white art in the third photo but I think the first photo makes the room brighter. I have a couple days off work so hopefully I can go shopping play around with some of your ideas....See More
