I think starting out with one favorite item is a great idea! I'm fairly bad at color coordination and lean towards minimalism as a result (it's either that or mishmash). But this dining room looks very cozy and sophisticated. That shawl really pulls it all together.nikkipolanihttp://nikkipolani.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2353280526628627983.post-54028562135777056682011-10-22T16:55:41.119-07:002011-10-22T16:55:41.119-07:00How wonderful faithful readers!
Trisha- The most...How wonderful faithful readers! <br /><br />Trisha- The most important room of the house is the bedroom. You simply must change the color you wake up and go to sleep to something you love. <br /><br />Thank you, Sue.<br /><br />Naomi- I'm lucky to have a mother-in-law that while she may not be brave, she has exquisite taste. <br /><br />Judy- Rather than sell your table- why not find a carpenter to cown size the table top to fit your smaller quarters? If you can't find a home for all 6 chairs- just go to 4? <br /><br />I'm planning to do something similar with my formal dining set so we will use it more.Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03215242522396155812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2353280526628627983.post-44579891368734521802011-10-22T15:28:08.588-07:002011-10-22T15:28:08.588-07:00Oh, this is just so my taste. Unfortunately, I...Oh, this is just so my taste. Unfortunately, I've been trying to sell my beautifuly Duncan Phyffe table w/the 4 leaves and custom pads and 6 matching chairs that include a captains chair because, dang it, I don't have room for it in my tiny condo. I sure hate to part with it. I even have a smaller china cabinet that 'goes with it' sort of, but I'm keeping that as it also goes with the same style coffee table and mirror, etc. Anyway, you've created a masterpiece for your lucky mother in-law.<br /><br />JudyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2353280526628627983.post-19437012244061257892011-10-22T13:33:08.643-07:002011-10-22T13:33:08.643-07:00Beautiful and rich color--It looks very serene yet...Beautiful and rich color--It looks very serene yet elegant and cozy, too!<br />You and your Mother-In-Law Did GOOD!!!OldLady Of The Hillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02458879772193114892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2353280526628627983.post-28622589170750328492011-10-22T10:03:20.479-07:002011-10-22T10:03:20.479-07:00Very beautiful!Very beautiful!Oregon Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07304465767994530731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2353280526628627983.post-82523242010941817332011-10-22T09:44:55.166-07:002011-10-22T09:44:55.166-07:00Lydia,
Love love love it!!! The color looks like...Lydia,<br /><br />Love love love it!!! The color looks like sage green which I love. Earlier this year I tried to be brave and use some "color" but the bravest I could get was beige! Of course it's tissue paper paint with irrediscent color over it which makes a beautiful result.<br />A couple of years ago I got brave in my bedroom! I picked a green shade for the walls from the large scroll of wallpaper over the bed and matching trim around the room. OMG! I HATE IT!! I was going to the lightest possible shade of green but I detest it! So I am having to live with it! I should have left the walls in there ivory! I always love ivory! Anyway, kudos to you and mom in law for being brave and bold and having it turn out beautifully!<br /><br />XOXO TrishaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
