Continuing on from yesterday’s post showing the evolution of the house we’ve called home for the last 5 years— Now, on to the dining room. This room has tall ceilings, beautiful moldings, and big windows overlooking our garden. It gets the most beautiful light throughout the day. As you’ll see in slides 2 and 3, I originally had a triptych of framed degournay wallpaper panels on the focal wall. Eventually, I replaced them with a series of 9 abstract works by artist janetimberlakecooper hung in a tight grid. The impact is undeniable. Louis XVI style dining chairs were replaced with Andre Arbus chairs from the 1930s that I found at the Paris flea market. The drapery and sisal rug remain the same, but I eventually changed the dining table in favor of one from bunnywilliamshome which I’ll be sad to part with once we move as I won’t have a place for it in the new house. The current chandelier is the Sharon by jrandallpowers for visualcomfort and it is my favorite of all the chandeliers that have hung here over the years!
