From the Archive: dining room board
Between two dinner parties this weekend--one hosted, one attended--and the upcoming Thanksgiving holidays, I suppose I've got dining rooms on the brain. I was planning my dining room before I started this blog, so I thought it would be fun to take a look back at a TOTALLY different direction.

The orange rug is in my living room, and the suzani armchairs were a possibility before we decided on a loveseat in there. I was planning to use my four white ghost chairs in the dining room, bring in those great black host chairs and a black chandelier, and go wild with a rug from anthropologie. (The chinese cabinet is a stand in for the one I actually have.)
Isn't it funny how things change? First I realized that the turkish rug I was planning to use in my bedroom would work better in the dining room, so that set the color palette. (I remember that when I bought the orange rug, it was with the idea that it could easily co-habitate with the turkish one). Then I realized that it would be far cheaper to buy a new set of chairs than to buy two additional ghost chairs plus a pair of host chairs. Enter the eames shell chairs. With smaller-scale chairs (and our technically too-small farm table which we love because my father in law made it for us), the room needed a bigger chandelier. Enter the Maskros.
And just like that, one change at a time, and I arrived at a completely different room.
Dominos.
