How can you not love the drama of this dining area? The plumed white plaster sconces against matte black walls, the softness of the blue silk on the dining chairs in contrast with bold Mastercraft brass host chairs, and mixing it up with some Napoleon III French Ormolu candelabras from Paris atop a custom designed Traditional inspired table by Woods & Butler.

This is probably one of the most loved dining rooms that DHome Magazine has ever featured. I don't know how you couldn't remember this room! Published in 2006, it was on the cover of the magazine. Very Federalist meets the Nouveau South. A true testament to the power of colour and paint!!

This dining room belongs in a 1940's Federal-style home. The stone table is by Michael Taylor, and although the art and furniture itself is classical, it looks fresh and modern with the choice of floor covering, fabric colours and lighting.

I love spaces where a mix of styles co-exist peacefully. Note in the room above: A Knoll Saarinen table and the Kartell Ghost chairs sitting on a cowhide rug, atop Mexican tiled floors.

This is a great example of custom art glass and how it can change a room. The glass wall was created by Bowman Glass, and enhanced with black modern/classic chairs by Kerry Joyce from David Sutherland Showroom. That Satin Glass chandelier is a nice elegant contrast to the black lines and designs around the room. |

On the above image, If you look real hard, you can see the console table agains the wall, slipcovered in Fortuny fabric.

This is a formal room, and although I am not personally fond of the fabric on the banquette, I do love the whole look together. Banquettes are the bomb. (Sorry, is that phrase so over now? What is the new saying? Where is my middle-school walking urban dictionary when I need him?) Antiqued mirror panels: timeless. Orientalist painting: love it. Very cozy and rich! |

This last room, but certainly NOT least, belongs to the owner of Nest, here and Dallas, and Bel'Invito - a gorgeous engraved stationery company. I had considered putting antiqued mirror on my ceiling in our conference room, having not even seen this room before that, and it does look fantastic! Our glass provider would not do it, for safety purposes, but apparently they now make a plexiglass version that looks just like antiqued mirror. I wonder if that is what this is?
