Dining room love with a casual style

My dining room, er, nook in my living room, is really in a sorry state so I'm hoping some of these images get my butt in gear and give me some ideas for sprucing up the space!

Gorgeous table - and right by a cozy fire!

So pretty.  I'm considering a round table for our space.  Even though round tables aren't the best use of space (ie: not great for tight spaces), I feel like they are more intimate.

Love the modern pendant hanging from the medallion.

Domino magazine love - great dining rooms

oh I still miss Domino...enjoy this little taste of the past

Swoon-worthy dining rooms from Domino

I just called Conde Nast to switch my Domino subscription. "The last issue you should receive is the March issue," said the operator. How sad! It also spurred me to continue my mad-hunt to gather all the images I can from the Domino website. Today I'm focusing on dining rooms. Being a huge advocate of food consumption - I spend quite a lot of time in them. These are particularly lovely. In which would you take your dinner?


This one's for my little sister, a lover of all things red.


I really like the contrast of the dark wood table with the white chairs.

this wouldn't technically count as eating dinner on the couch...

I'm so jealous of that sunny window seat.

The fabric used for the drapes and the cushions is Pottery Barn's Serafina, available by the yard.

I like all the cubbies on the wall in this room.

Perhaps my favorite dining room of them all...
