QUOTE: Eating, an indoor game

"Even in a formal dining room you don't want to be ponderous or gloomy. Eating is really one of your indoor sports. You play three times a day, and it's well worthwhile to make the game as pleasant as possible" ~Dorothy Draper

How fun are those chairs with the added pink!! and that light fixture.... gorgeous! I really love the flood of light coming in to the space, perfect for the morning cup of coffee and toasted bread smeared with jam!  Just the simplicity of this room makes me happy! Making it all about the food, drink, people, and conversation.
I am sure Dorothy Draper had a more traditional space in mind, but I just love the space in it's minimal state so you can dress it up to the comfort level needed.

  2. I love this set-up. Adam isn't a fan of these chairs but I could definitely live with them. I think that great tall wall would look amazing with a cluster of photos and artwork in great frames.
