The dining chairs are refurbished vintage pieces inspired by one of Stein's favorite designers, Mary McDonald. "She does a great mix of glam and chinoiserie, and I aspire to create spaces similar to that," she says. A modern pendant helps ground this dining area in the open space, giving it a solid location in the loft. Dining table: Docksta, Ikea; tablecloth: vintage; pendant: Structube
Surprise wall: Many homeowners like the idea of having an accent wall, because it’s a practical way to introduce a striking color without overdoing it. An unexpected color such as electric blue (this one is Brilliant Blue from Olympic Paints) can energize and excite your space.
These glossy black cane chairs get a pop of modern fun paired with a chevron fabric. They get even more flair by being paired with another classic, the Tulip Table. Tip: Any sturdy upholstery fabric will work well on these chairs. Remember you'll need to pull firmly on the edges when stretching the fabric to staple it underneath, so be certain you've chosen a fabric that can handle being stretched. Silks and thin cotton fabric are not well suited for most dining chairs, since they see a lot of wear.
