New apartment ideas

I saw this dining room on the website for the French version of Marie Clare magazine.

It's not the exact inspiration for my future dining room,
but there are elements of it that I like.
I love that pink wallpaper.
I can't wallpaper, but I will
have a large wall hanging of some sort
on the back wall of the room.
Something to lighten up the area.

I may just get some wall paper that I like and frame it.

We shall see. ;-)

For example: the round table and the chairs

I knew I wanted a round table because the room is a rectangle
with no windows. I won't do a glass top because of fingerprints.


I like this 2x2 table from West Elm.
I like the chairs they show....

but I prefer this one.

I'm thinking maybe two of these and two more like it, but in white.

********************************************


and just because I know y'all care about stuff like this;
I love this headboard~also from West Elm.

I'll get it in white.
I love that it's wooden, rather than iron or metal
and I especially love the the crisp, clean lines.

What do y'all think?

p.s. does anybody get a discount at West Elm??? ;-)

  2. its you!....
    go to paint stores that carry wall paper..or home decor stores to the wall paper dept. they have old wall paper books that they have laying around and you can either get them for nothing or for cheap. also they will have rolls of precut or ordered rolls that someone changed their mind about and will sell cheap to get rid of it for inventory.check it out..

  4. Awesome! All of it. I really like the George Jetson chairs. And the idea of framing wallpaper? Brilliant!

    Can't wait to see the finished product.
