Design our house round 2

Here's kind of the idea I've got brewing for the dining room:



It's actually the same space as the living room, so the paint, paneling and window treatments will all be the same, making the room feel unified and continuous.


The dining room table is the Basque honey from Crate and Barrel. I really wanted to get a table that wasn't very fancy. I wanted it to be heavy, slightly rustic and a really warm wood color. This one will fit the bill. The rug under it is the chunky wool jute from Pottery Barn. Neutral color and bumpy...to hide crumbs. Over the table will be an awesome drum shade hanging light from Room and Board. I love the subtle stripes...but I'm worried that the bottom one will end up being slightly blue? That's not allowed the the room. If it even hints at being blue it'll go back and we'll continue our search.


The curtains are from west elm and I just LOVE the pattern the introduce!


Under the window where a sideboard would be will be a cabinet that the ear doctor made. We're going to paint it an awesome color of green to tie in with our swirl rug in the other room. Inside the cabinet I'll put these woven baskets from IKEA to contain our dining linens and other dining room stuff. On top of the cabinet I'll probably put some pictures and a cool lamp...still looking for just the right one. I'd love to have something silver and shiny.


Any thoughts? or better ideas? I'm all ears!

I think it looks gorgeous!

The only thing that I would change is to bring some of the green over to the table to tie it all together, perhaps through some green glassware?

That way, the green won't be exact but it won't clash either.

I think the blue you see on the shade is the metal rim. it just looks blue in the picture.

Love it! Great style!
