I hear nothing but the Golden Girls theme song when I see this picture. The pink, the gold, the brown, the horror. But in all honesty a pretty good blank slate.

What a fabulous before and after of your dining room! I am loving all the punches of color! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLove your colorful dining room...what a fun place to gather! Well done!
ReplyDeleteI love the off-center. Everything tells you to do it but the bench with the table make it unique and cozy and just lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone! And @Trish you should have heard the electrician at my house the other day complain about everything being off center. He was not a fan. LOL.
ReplyDeletei'm SOOO inspired!! LOVE THIS ROOM! i have a great collection of plates but am nervous to take the plunge and actually hang them.
ReplyDeleteyou've gotten me one step closer.
thanks!

I've been eyeing that dining table at a local grocery store! Yes, our grocery store is that cool! :) Pretty room!
ReplyDeleteJust tripped upon your awesome talent here! hi, i'm Renae and our blogs have a bit in common. Actually, very similar in purpose. Did you get those plates at Home Again in Sugarhouse, SLC, Utah? I could have sworn I saw that green rectangle one there last year. My daughter has that exact pink one (closest to the lamp). You are very talented = good eye!
ReplyDeletehey again, this is my second look at this dining room masterpiece and you know what I like this time? the purple walls!!! why didn't i notice them before? Yes, I wrote that comment above in May and now I am back here in June. I changed my picture tho, so now you know what I am looking like.
ReplyDeleteLove this room!! Can you tell me the name of the paint color you used?
ReplyDeleteHey! This is my first time here at your blog and I love it! Your spaces look amazing. :)

Love this too!!! Okay, so you've got your table off centered, flush against the wall, flanked by a pair of lamps, and I think it looks just fine!... More like wonderful! I'm struggling with a teeny small dining room myself, and your photos make me want to go for it. Thank you so much for the inspiration!

Love your plate collection, all of the different colors, shapes and sizes. I also like that you chose to have it flow, rather than have it symmetrical and centered over the buffet.
ReplyDeletewow, LOVE this room. Love the chandelier and the color you painted the walls. I also love that one side of the table is bench seating with those fabulous accent pillows. Great eye for style!
ReplyDeleteOh, my love this dinning room! Makes me wish I had a real dinning room too!!!! Love the pew! I want one too:)
ReplyDeleteI love the plates and the wall color!
ReplyDeleteI'm planning on using a church pew for my dining room table too. How long is this one? I'm having a table made for me and am trying to figure out lengths. At what point will a pew be so long that people feel trapped in it?
ReplyDeleteOur pew seats four people comfortably. So its not terribly long making getting in and out no worse than sitting in a boot at a restaurant. Good luck with your pew!
DeleteYour home is stunning!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love it all and how bold this is! Love your plate wall!

Total awesomeness!! Then again, I love everything you do. ;-). I think that church pew is fabulous, especially bc it's so meaningful. xo
ReplyDeleteA church pew suits perfectly in a dining room because it provides extra seating, especially to those who have a large family. It's a creative and functional piece in your dining area. Adding those fancy cushions were great too, as they make dining more comfortable.

Hi there, Just found you blog and I love it. You have a great eye and I love your writing style. Just curious I was reading the comments and someone asked about the wall color. Is it purple of blue? I think blue.
