There are times when I wished we had a seperate dining space just so I could have a shiny marble Saarninen table, a circle of gorgeous refinished chrome chairs (just like the last inspiration picture) and yards of glorious fabric.
This is my first board done on Olioboard- if you haven't used the site yet, you really must check it out. Olio makes putting mood boards together very easy and is a lot of fun to play around with. My one and only issue with it is that I have to continually adjust the screen size to see everything because I am working on a mini laptop; for those of you who have used the site, do you have the same problem? Anyhoo...What do you think of the new 3D styles? I'm quite liking it.
As for the nitty gritty details, here's the lowdown. The fabric is called Darcy Lagoon and is by Lee Jofa; I envision it being uses for large curtain panels on either side of a big square window (with trim painted charcoal.) The yellow Queen Anne chairs are from here and the dining chairs are from Jayson Home and Garden. The chandelier is from Retrouvius and the large photograph is by ellemoss (who btw, I totally adore.)
Here are some other Saarinen centric dining rooms that make me hungry for all things gorgeous. And PS, the last room is perhaps my favourite dining room of all time- I'm a little obsessed with it actually.

I love Saarinen tables - they are so versatile and work well in every setting. Whether paired with MCM chairs or more traditional ones, they simply work. Lucky you to have one!
ReplyDeleteYou know what? I'M WITH YOU! The last space may be one of my favorites of all time too! Love the floor to ceiling drapes in green right up against the super rich, blue chair. The fireplace and bookshelves create warmth and tradition while the dining table and chairs bring in clean lines. The cherry on top (for me anyway) is the light fixture! Thanks for posting these spaces! Truly inspiring!

I've longed for a Saarinen side table for years and somehow haven't gotten around to it yet, but I must, I must.

I think the Saarinen table honestly goes with everything!! Every look is different in the photos that you provided, but the table looks amazing in all of them! It has been on my wishlist for a while now! The one that I found on Craigslist last week was a super steal, but of course, it was sold in no time. Gotta keep looking!
ReplyDeleteThat dining room with the blue chair/huge mirror/and of course beautiful table is one of my all time faves! Such a great table!
ReplyDeleteBTW, I'd like to send you an image but don't have your address.
