Tasteful dining with a custom mahogany table set off by a gold leaf pineapple chandelier and table lamps. The natural Conrad Shade window coverings keep the mood soft and warm.

I love the table and chairs. Who is the manufacturer? »
When is it appropriate to use one large shade versus individual shades? - In my dining room, I have three large front windows with only 7" separating them. The look is similar to this; they are recessed. Would the separate windows deter you from using one large shade as opposed to three individual ones? I like the more formal look of the one shade, but I worry about the expanse (128" from edge of trim to edge of trim). Thank you. »
This buffet is styled in the way Louis XVI would have loved. It displays treasured china and gets a dose of symmetry and importance from the tall table lamps on either end.
Replace that silver tea set with blue-and-white porcelain. When it comes to blue and white, this dining room is perfectly done. The porcelain provides a punch of color in an area that is usually reserved for a silver tea set.
Start traditionally English and layer in items from around the former empire's domain. This room starts with a traditional English base of heavy Chippendale dining chairs, then brings in the island influence with light walls, bamboo blinds, pineapple accents and Far Eastern blue and white porcelain accents.
Textures and materials can really define tone and personality. Here, unabashedly traditional chairs, china and crystal get an infusion of casual livability from the rattan shade.
need to make dining room window larger - woven blinds on the window and panels to the outside of window, will make window look larger and more centered. Give a fabulous focal point with a buffet/server in front.
