Dining Room Love

Hooray for the dining room and a wonderful husband who patiently hung our new curtains AND the canary prints last weekend.


The chocolate brown, silk curtains are so yummy and these photos just don't do them justice. They are tall and dreamy.


I was worried that being a dark fabric, they might make the space gloomy, but we're lucky to have a big, double, light filled window that lets plenty of light in and frames our pretty view of the backyard. We chose the chocolate to make a connection between the chocolate living room coach and love seat details.


We hung the birds with two little bone mirrors from Anthropologie that I found on sale a while back. I resisted getting mattes for these prints because I wanted to keep them on the small side but goodness, we had a lot of wall to cover!

Lar did such a great job taking measurements and making sure they were hung straight and even. I lack patience and good math skills, so he was best suited to this job.


I planned the layout on the floor.



Here is a detail of the curtains- you can see the braid trim, bringing in turquoise and yellow and just a little bronze-y red from the living room. The colors aren't coming out quite right in these photos, but you'll get an idea.




More good dining room news- the chair cushions are done so we get to pick them up this week! Finally a place to sit!
