End Of Week Dining Spaces: Which Is Your Favorite?
The week began with table-setting images to generate interesting ideas for the upcoming holidays. Mid-week I revealed a before and after bench that will be used in a client's dining room. Since dining in style is clearly the focus this week, we might as well finish it with some inspiring dining room areas. Take a look at eight of my very favorites. Each space is quite different, but they all share certain elements that I would love to incorporate into our next home's dining room.

I'm In A Dark Mood
Lately, I've been drawn to dark detailing in interior spaces, gardens and even fashion. Not to worry, I'm not depressed, just appreciating the contrast and depth that burgundies and blacks give their surroundings. Take a look at just why I'm in dark mood...
Our garden has taken on a deep palette as a result of my dark mood. To see more of this recent color obsession click here and stay posted for photos of this summer's garden planters.
