Meredith Heron If you use it a lot at the full length then you would need two of these fixtures for it to fit the space. This table was less than 7ft closed and we custom made two 12" leaves to add on to the end which was the maximum for this fixture.
Meredith Heron The pieces in this room were almost all designed exclusively for these clients. Meredith Heron Design is accepting new clients for full rooms or homes. Please feel free to get in touch if you have a project to discuss with us.
kathyghutchins The light is called Sausalito and I just purchased it from Lamps Plus and it is hanging in my living room....a real show stopper in ahhhhh
Meredith Heron I just went on LS's website prices on their fabrics are between $20-$35/yard. Many of their fabrics designers can buy directly from trade only sources and not pay the retail prices. I do like LS for trim.
I pointed out the difference because it is my work and it is of a specific quality and I don't feel that L&S comes close to the same quality. These projects are all professionally designed most often with custom & bespoke elements. As a designer, I find it disheartening to have other people post where the look can be knocked off on my own profile. I find it furthermore in bad taste to then be criticized for pointing out that the "look for less" is not anywhere close to the original design.
I look forward to the conference call Houzz & I will be having just after the new year. I think that are positive changes that can be made on here to alert homeowners to the budget range individual designers work with for their projects. I think qualifying the designer/budget would be insightful for all involved. I also think that each project should be assigned a price tag to show what someone could expect to pay for the same room concept wise.
It's not a judgment about budgets. We have done a wide variety of projects with equally as varied budgets. Having said that, we've been in business for 15+ years now and we know what budget range a project needs to have in order for us to take it on.
Thank you for your comments though, they have been helpful in articulating how I would like to see the site function as a designer.
amount of floor showing around the room. - i've recently put hardwood in my dining room and stained it the same color as in this picture. I am having an area rug custom made.
other than my table and chairs, there is a sideboard on the long side of my room. Should the carpet be cut right in front of the sideboard legs so front and back legs are on the floor? or is it ok, for the front legs to be on the carpet and not the back legs?
thank you. »
Emily Hurley I think it's okay to have the sideboard off the carpet, but for things like couches and chairs in a seating area, I think I'd put the front legs on and not the back.
feeny I think, in a dining room, it will look better to have all four legs of the sideboard on the hardwood floor. The rug can come just up to the edge of it perhaps? The rug should generously define the seating area, and I think the room will look crisper if it is limited to that focus.
babynurse Thank you....I am interested in the chandelier. When I was reading guidelines for size it says the height of the chandelier body should be 2.5 to 3 inches per foot of ceiling height. My ceiling is 9ft high. The body of this chandelier is 16.5...? too small. I know the diameter is good at 25inches....by table is 46 wide.
Meredith Heron These have a faux ostritch leather on the seats and a faux silk on the backs with nailheads. As shown, they are about $700/chair. Without nailheads in a basic fabric you are looking at approx $400-$500/chair.
Meredith Heron Thank you so much! It's a wool silk carpet but can also be done in wool only. Please feel free to contact Meredith Heron Design - info@meredithheron.com
Meredith Heron I designed the chairs myself & they are available through my firm - Meredith Heron Design in Toronto. The walls are Gray Moire by Pratt & Lambert & the carpets are also available through my firm.
Meredith Heron The casegoods were the client's own. The cabinetry we built in on either side of the entrance to the kitchen is available through our firm. Meredith Heron Design in Toronto.
ELEGANT COMFORT! Can you please tell me the dimensions of this space? - We are custom building a home and our formal dining room will be 18.5x12. The long wall is an exterior wall and I don't know if I should add windows or just wainscoting with sconces. The 12ft wall has a large window and I plan on having a small seating area on that end. Thanks! »
can you reccomend window treatments for this room ? - can you reccomend window treatments for this room ? I have a large window which takes up the whole width of my wall of the dining area? »
Painting mahogany paneled walls - We are purchasing a home with a family room that has mahogany paneled walls. While I think this look is beautiful, the room has 8 ft ceilings and is incredibly dark. We ARE painting it and I can not find any DIY tips on the process. We are moderate to advanced DIYers, buy need guidance. Thanks! »
Console/Buffet cabinet - Beautiful room I am interested in knowing where the buffet/console cabinet is from and measurements if possible.. Many thanks! »
The homeowner's existing dining room table was sent to a cabinetmaker where two leaves were created to accommodate more seating and was stained along with the buffet to adapt to the home new color scheme. New chairs surround the refurbished table. A pendant fixture from Union Lighting polishes the look.
