"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."

I love how these are all formal but not stodgy. Usually the more money one spends on a room the more uptight it looks to me. These are all really cool. I love the blue chairs too.
ReplyDeleteLove the room with with zebra, table and chairs.
ReplyDeleteWell said! I love the thought of having each meal in a beautiful room. Unfortunately I think for most working, single, people (including myself) it is in front of the TV a lot of the time!

wow, some of those spaces (and lighting) are amazing. and i adore that quote. i don't like formal, stuffy dining spaces. eating should be comfortable and relaxing and fun :)
ReplyDeleteAll well said and beautifully presented! I use my dining room daily, dining is the time of the day that brings us together. Forget the TV. Ask your loved ones how was the day... In beautiful rooms like the ones above who wants to eat out or in front of the TV?
ReplyDeleteLove your blog and the zebra effect!
