2013 Update: That Ikea chef's table was WAY too big for the space and
got replaced with something I can actually store a lot more stuff
in, yet a much smaller footprint and better proportions for that
room. Win! Had to take the flowers off the chandelier
tho... it was a bit much with all that china on display beyond it.
Search is on for just the right little chandelier shades...
2006 Update: Picked up a nice "chef's table" that would typically
be found in a narrow galley kitchen, but it's a pretty amazing match
for the dining room table and was a nice deal.
Following are pics and comments from the beginning:
Going for casual mixed with shabby chic here, hopefully starting to
achieve it, but alas I need something other than rectangles on the
walls!
My favorite thing about this room is (big surprise as I'm a
floral NUT) the flowery additions to the chandelier. I really
think it perked up a very small and pretty tired out old chandelier
and gave it new life. What do you think?
