Case Study: Dining Room Part 2

Now on to the fun part! Finding pieces to work together is my favourite bit of decorating, we already had a few pieces of furniture that needed to go back in the room; the important table which we repainted in Moles Breath by Farrow & Ball. 

My dad is quite the handy man and created this from a previous table top from my grandparents, cut it to make the leaves at the ends and bought new legs, which are actually dressing table legs (thinner than farmhouse table legs) that make the table a more delicate object. 

 

And this grey cabinet, included in my last post, we had previously restored and it houses some of our China and glassware. Seen with the old guitar and Fleetwood Mac record I bought into the room originally too see if the warm colours worked.

For the new style of the room I wanted to bring in accents of yellow and grey as this is a fab combination and also adds a Scandinavian feel. Metallics are introduced with brass stars and our bronzed stag head, which we've named Brad! So when we buy new pieces we can add upon these colour choices. 

(FYI In the following images the house is decorated for Christmas!)

Chair: Parker Knoll, Cushion: Low woods, Lamp: Gloss Interiors, Film Poster: Antiques Fair, Mirror: Custom design originally from a dressing table, Rug: Ikea

Stag Head: Low Woods

Curtains: Ikea (MATILDA), Vase: Low Woods

We're still missing a new light fitting, some more art work and perhaps a plant to bring in a nice dark green, but we are so pleased with the room and it's lovely to have somewhere official to dine!
