Dining rooms in all flavors

Some dining room love for you guys today! Anybody else on the east coast feel that shake yesterday? I'm right outside DC so it was pretty scary here!

I have to paint our table - it's so sad right now.  I love how the feet of this one look dipped in gold!

Fabulous, classy kitchens

These kitchens are elegant and functional, a quality that I think could make my cooking taste decent....

Not to miss house tour for mid-century modern fans

I am a big fan of mid-century modern furnishings and interiors, except when it's done in a cutesy, trendy way. I think this home is a beautiful example of mid-century modern as the furniture is restored or reupholstered with contemporary fabrics, and integrated into the home amongst contemporary accessories - lamps, artwork, textiles, etc.

Fabulous table and chairs - and what do you think of the lamp being on the table?

The chair is mid-century modern but the upholstery is now, keeping it from being cutesy.



Another great set of table and chairs. I love this room, it looks like such a peaceful place to have breakfast.

In the top left corner of this picture you'll notice a photo overlay and in the scene you can see this console. It still looks great arranged with salon-style artwork and a modern rug.

Happy weekend! An eclectic San Francisco house tour!

I'm sure some of you are familiar with Victoria from SFGirlByBay, her lovely blog. Her style is a blend of eclectic, modern retro, and vintage. See below.

Chic and glamorous - but not too over the top. A designers portfolio

I get tons of emails introducing the work of designers, but I am super glad I took the time to check out Rachel Reider's portfolio. Her work is chic and glamorous, but it's not so over the top that it's impossible to believe anyone lives there. I also like her use of neutrals paired with bright accents.



I normally don't feature children's rooms, but I really liked this one

*swoon* great staircase and entry


I ADORE this dining room. The cozy arrangement, the elegant fireplace
