Adding wood moldings three quarters of the way up the walls is the beginning of the elegant look in this dining room. French doors replaced a narrow, single door and opens the way to present this beautiful dining room. A chrystal chandelier illuminates the beautiful woods of the dining room furniture. The table was purchased as new and the six chairs are three sets of different antiques chairs which were refinished and re-upholstered. The window treatments were custom made from a historic patterned toile named, "Mt.Vernon"

Marlene Wangenheim AKBD, CAPS, Allied Member ASID This rug is a 180 knots per square inch hand knotted rug. It is made of wool and cotton.These carpets are hand made with knots so tight that you can spill red wine and it will sit for a few minutes on top of the rug so that you can blot it up. This does not mean that the rugs won't stain but attests to the durability of a good quality hand knotted carpet. These carpets can be found in a better quality carpet store which specializes in area rugs made by hand. There are also copies of these rugs which Karastan makes by machine. They are less pricey and have the same great look. Thanks for the question. mw.
Amazing balance! Where is the chandelier from? - Have been looking for a chandelier like this for ages now! Would be obliged if you could tell where one can find one. Thanks! »
Oriental rugs are a classic choice for a traditional dining room. This rug is hand knotted with wool and cotton fibers, making it a one-of-a kind addition to this home. Be careful to choose the right size: Your rug should be large enough that when you push every chair back from the table, all the legs stay on the rug.
This setting looks Royal. it has a fine blended golden color. i can;t imagine the beautiful light in this golden and brownish background. its really lovely
