We’ve officially been in our new apartment for 3 full months! I’m happy to report back that we’ve made some great headway these past few weeks. If you’re just tuning in, you can catch up on all of the details right here! We extended our Room & Board couch so it’s a full U-shaped sectional, our custom Shade Store shades were installed last week and at last, we have some artwork on the walls!
Next up on the list is the dinning room. I’ve been perusing Pinterest and my favorite design projects to get some major inspiration. I’ve never had the chance to decorate a dinning room since living in Manhattan is expensive AF so I’m really excited about this space + the opportunity to host dinner parties! Isn’t it fun to get lost in pretty images?
Overall I think we’re headed in a modern + traditional design scheme for the dinning area. I absolutely love the look of a natural wood farmhouse dinning table mixed with modern chairs & a traditional light fixture.
I’m so excited to share that we decided on a restoration hardware table — specifically the Torano Salvaged Rectangle table. If you’re also in the market for a new dinning room table – I would highly recommend this one! First of all, it’s on sale and I LOVE the natural color of the wood. It’s scheduled to be delivered next week, can not wait! I also can’t forget to mention we also ordered the salvage wood bench. I love the idea of being bale to mix the bench with a variety of dinning chairs.
Since we’re decided on the table and bench, we’re now in the market for new dinning chairs. McGee & Co actually has a great selection of both dinning tables & chairs — how pretty would these dakota chairs be or these Lindsay side dinning chairs? #goals. The responsible design decision would be to just add on to our collection of the Wisteria Louis Fabric Back Side Chairs as it would definitely help us save money. What I love most about shopping at Wisteria is that they have major sales every few months so you can get classic pieces at great prices — my chairs we’re discounted to $199 this month so definitely keep an eye out!
Once we decide on our chairs, we’ll need a small chandelier & a 6×9 rug to pull the space together. It’s been so fun seriously looking at chandeliers for the first time. Circa lighting has so many great options in addition to One Kings Lane. A few of my favorite lighting brands include Aerin, E.F. Chapmen and Kelly Wearstler. For rugs, I would love a Madeline Weinrib dhurrie rug – I rounded up my favorite dhurries right here!
Below is my current dinning room collage with the table and bench we ordered + a shopping roundup! What do you think about mixing and matching materials in the chandelier & mirror? Would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below! Xo. Lauren
