Dining Room Table Centerpiece - What do you think?
Comments (13)I love your wainscoting and wall color. Is the wainscoting "real" or is it painted drywall? Also, do you mind sharing your wall color? I would love to see pictures of the other walls in the room. Your DR appears to be a similar size to mine and I never can decide what to put on the other walls....See MoreWhat Dining Room Table would look best? I am not a decorator!!!
Comments (1)I would go with the lighter. It's more timeless and would blend nicely with your existing oak....See MoreWhat type of chairs would update this traditional vintage dining room?
Comments (21)I like your direction of bringing in blue and white. I seen this photo on Pinterest and designer states the blue/white china was inspiration for colour scheme and thought I would share. This photo another option of keeping chairs wood and blue upholstery. If you want to colour to hutch, you could go two ways Adding blue/white china or you can add blue behind your white dishes. It’s easy to do by adding fabric/paint or wallpaper to thin plywood and adhere with command strips. In seeing your added photos I think your two chairs would look good facing each other e we it’s the table between them with a chess or checker board on it....See MoreKitchen in need of update! What would you do?
Comments (7)I'd carry the light beige from your floors to the walls and go charcoal grey on the lower cabinets. That will keep the warmth, lean into your more modern white and black taste, and actually brighten up the space. You're most recent mock up seems to have lost two cabinets and gained open shelving. I'd recommend decreasing the open shelving to just two shelves on each side. That window is lovely - give it some room to breath :) I love Emily L's suggestion of glass doors. I'd suggest putting glass doors on the small cabinets you're putting above the current cabinets, I'd recommend garage style doors that lift upward on those cabinets, and I'd recommend putting lights inside of the cabinets. Between the two lights over the sink, the lights in the cabinets, and the hood light, you'll have really beautiful and functional ambient light for early mornings and late evenings. As for the cabinet doors, I think with everything else so updated, they'll seem cool and fun. They strike me as a choice that was always a little risky, even when brand new. In that way, they're almost impervious to aging because they were never quite trendy. If you like them, you should keep them....See MoreHU-600106137
