Thursday Rooms du jour

Photo by Annie Schlechter, Domino May 2007

Where to begin? The inlaid bone benches (very Dorothy Draper) are not only beautiful but add function and elegance to the room - a great contrast to the rustic wood floors. And the bed - oh, the bed! Domino (where the image is from) cites it as the "Rune" bed from Hivemindesign - the carved wood canopy is so incredibly unique.

I don't know any other way to describe this room other than the fact that is just 'so me'. That aside, this room is one of many I have saved for dining room inspiration - I never grow weary of tulip tables or Schumaker's KWID Imperial Trellis - I have an especially soft spot for the gunmetal. Aqua seems to be my somewhat unintentional signature color, so I love the great pop that the art provides. I could stand a different light fixture, but everything else is perfect - even the hydrangeas on the table.

Those inlaid bone benches are beatuiful!!! - I love them! They remind me of the gorgeous inlaid bone and mother of pearl chests of drawers I love. Unfortunately I think they will sit on my wish list for a few years yet! Love your style Jessica, Love List is always a beautiful place to visit, thanks! x

I love the four poster bed, it sort of looks like a room within a room, very chic!

I'm checking out your blog for the first time and I love it! Great posts, very inspiring! The dining chairs in Ryan Brown's dining room are from my line of furniture and I actually posted this same pic on our store blog just last week. Fun. I'll be back. Thanks!
