My Dream Home: Dining Room

I can do all the cooking I want in my "Dream Kitchen", but where will my family eat? Oh of course in my Dream Dining Room!

Since the layout of my Dream Home has a dinette and a formal dining room, I have a few ideas to bounce around for our place of gathering to eat the wonderful food I cook, every day {in my dreams}.

This is what I would like in the dinette area. It's crisp, clean, and matches the kitchen so the room can flow together nicely {pinned it here}. 

I would also love french doors as pictured here. Beautiful!

Oh, and I would love a light fixture like this but of course in coordinating colors. I love that there's a design on it to give the space a little dimension.

I saw these chairs from Pottery Barn and fell in love; however, I would only want two - one for each end. I could also go with some fabric-covered chairs, but I searched and couldn't find anything at this moment that caught my eye {if I did that, I would get a natural rug for the texture}.

These are similar to what I would like for the rest of the chairs, but a bigger table with more of an expresso color than cherry! I am not sold on the black, but white or cream seem to scream T-R-O-U-B-L-E! Who am I kidding? This is my dream, and in my dream everyone is neat and nobody spills {even the kids}. Therefore...

I want these. And I really like that table too! In fact, I'm a fan of the molding here and the columns on the ends of the archway. Big fan. #1 fan. Ooooooh...

I love this wall of storage for the dining room. Expresso colored of course, but it would add texture and dimention to the room. I'm not a fan of the molding pictured here...I need something more crisp and simple.

Ahh...just picturing this leads me to wishful Christmases, Thanksgivings, and birthday parties to entertian for! A girl can dream, right?
