functionality meets modern elegance dining room

ok so everyone knows that a great dining room starts with a great table...and for tiff and donnie, this table designed by Ana White is PERFECT! She blogged the how-to HERE yeah...a lil elbow grease..but SO worth it!!

we're gonna put six of these BEAUTIFUL white chairs around the table...

LOVE IT! : ) now...we're gonna need some nice pop of color to really make all this black and white shine...so i'm thinking a nice aqua blue like Sherwin William's Holiday Turquoise

and continue the trim color from the living room into the dining room on the crown, baseboard, and chair rail since they open into each other...(in case you forgot its Sherwin William's Black Magic)

let's hang something like this awesome original by Susanna S.

set the table with some nice white china...fiestaware is my FAVORITE!!!

and lets put a red accent plate with those clean white plates! :)

and you guys know i can't let them eat on a hard floor!!! gotta have this bold striped RUG to give donnie that modern touch he likes :)

love it...hate it...tell me what you think!!! :) hope you like tiff and donnie!!!
