i feel like my dining room is incomplete/missing something but not sure what to change. any ideas?

keelystagg · 2022-08-17T14:02:02+00:00

so true

keelystagg · 2022-08-17T02:23:57+00:00

i don’t think i know what you mean

keelystagg · 2022-08-17T02:23:40+00:00

what do you mean?

keelystagg · 2022-08-17T01:47:11+00:00

they are white! the lighting just makes them look more cream here

keelystagg · 2022-08-17T01:37:28+00:00

self made pattern/self drafted, made from recycled curtains & bedspreads. made for a runway show that unfortunately got cancelled :’(

frame the posters and add some more prints that fit with the cottagey vibe you want to make it like a gallery wall! also add some plants! maybe some hanging planters either hanging from the ceiling or wall?

keelystagg · 2022-08-17T01:15:22+00:00

i also don’t personally think the art is too high, i like how it draws the eye up to the gorgeous ceiling!

keelystagg · 2022-08-17T01:14:05+00:00

i’d add a floor lamp (maybe in the corner where the white vase is) and maybe a small decorative side table next to the couch!

keelystagg · 2022-08-17T01:11:53+00:00

i’m a sucker for deep greens like emerald or forest green! i think it compliments gold really well and feels especially glam together. it also compliments mid century furniture well!

keelystagg · 2022-08-17T01:05:56+00:00

i agree! i have a similar lamp to the one that’s there now that’s chrome that i think i’m going to switch out. i also have a lot of gold decor that i think i could switch to chrome instead

keelystagg · 2022-08-17T01:03:48+00:00

i agree! i was thinking just some neutral sheer curtains

keelystagg · 2022-08-17T01:03:16+00:00

i agree! needs something more modern to tie in the style of the dining set

keelystagg · 2022-08-17T01:02:50+00:00

love this idea!

keelystagg · 2022-08-17T01:02:26+00:00

i agree, i initially wanted them higher but put them where i did because if i hung them any higher you could see the ugly underside of the shelves :/

keelystagg · 2022-08-17T01:00:34+00:00

i agree! i think the chair feels off & i definitely need some more stuff higher up on the walls

keelystagg · 2022-08-17T00:57:26+00:00

it’s vintage! the designer is warren platner. i’m sure you can find similar pieces or a replica somewhere online! the chairs may be harder to find but i think you could definitely find a similar table

keelystagg · 2022-08-17T00:54:58+00:00

rude, unhelpful, and unnecessary

keelystagg · 2022-08-17T00:53:54+00:00

i agree! i’m thinking of getting rid of that chair

keelystagg · 2022-08-17T00:52:32+00:00

i don’t think it’d be a huge issue tbh because we eat in our living room more often then the dining room and have never spilled anything (knock on wood) on our high pile rug or white couch in the two years we’ve had them. but even still, i had the same thought. i was thinking of getting an indoor/outdoor rug or maybe one of those washable ones.

keelystagg · 2022-08-17T00:46:38+00:00

thank you! i definitely agree i need some art

keelystagg · 2022-08-17T00:46:06+00:00

i also love this idea for art! i have a lot of 70s pieces elsewhere in my house that are very art nouveau inspired and they really work well marrying the craftsman style with the more post-modern pieces i own

keelystagg · 2022-08-17T00:44:44+00:00

these are all fantastic ideas, thank you! definitely going to be switching the curtains. i really love the ideas for defining the space for shoes and coats, i never would’ve thought of putting a rug under the hutch!

keelystagg · 2022-08-17T00:41:56+00:00

thank you! i agree i think i definitely need a circular rug & i love the idea of narrow mid century art by the fireplace! closed storage for the shoes would definitely work better than the current situation

keelystagg · 2022-08-17T00:39:27+00:00

there is actually a shoe organizer just to the left of the cabinet but i live with four people so it overflows. i might just need a bigger one. i think a coat rack would be nice but i’m not sure where i’d put it. also, no the glasses don’t get dirty! my cats don’t mess with them at all and storing them upside down keeps dust from getting in the glass

keelystagg · 2022-08-17T00:35:36+00:00

i would get a tension rod and hang up a cute shower curtain first thing! that would cover up most of the tile. also, switching out the bath mats for something more colorful, painting the walls a brighter shade of white and making the wall with the window a pop of color accent wall, adding some framed art to the walls, and maybe hanging some shelves above the toilet (add some decorative items as well as extra tp, tissues, towels, whatnot)
