I recently shared a powder room from my #gardnerhomeproject and now I’m sharing the completed dining room. This home is from the 1930’s and my client’s moved into the home needing to completely furnish almost every room. Blank slate / full room transformations are my favorite projects because we are not limited by any item(s) that need to stay. From the start, we knew that we were going to add white paneling to the bottom half of the walls and install wallpaper on the top. We had a couple of bold options but after looking at the swatches on the wall, this floral paper was the winner.
Here is a closer view of the sideboard which features a mirror and simple decor to not detract from all of the other elements in the space.
Here is the BEFORE photo. As you can see, the previous owners of the home had table for six in the space - we went with a larger table and light fixture which really fills the room. There is no other furniture in the room beyond the sideboard so that we could maximize the space for seating for eight.
Here is the concept board that I presented to my clients to illustrate the selections for the room.
Here is the rendering of the space
Stay tuned for more photos - next up will be the foyer and then living room!!
