Sorry you feel that way, and it may not be your taste, but historically if you look at design, having bold prints such as these were very common. Also this room has been added to a number of idea books, it has been published in a table top book Entitled "Showhouse 3 - A decorators tour" and is being considered by Elle Decor. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and if you look at our other work, you can see how diversified our taste is.

If you look at it, there are only 2 patterns. In most traditional homes, there is always a mix of patterns. Don't be afraid to mix patterns however bold. Look at various magazines, such as Elle Decor for inspiration! Enjoy!

This might be fine for another room but eating should not be an activity in which the food has to fight with the decor for your eye. I would feel nauseous if I tried to eat in this room... way, way too busy for a dining room.

Bold color & pattern is not for everyone. I love it, though! Cast off boring convention! Well done.

I didn't mean to make you feel defensive - I am sure there are those who like this and I am sure you have other designs that I would find aesthetically pleasing. We can't all like the same thing or life would be pretty boring!

Maybe Ms Deb should follow the childhood rule, "if you don't have something nice to say, then say nothing"

It looks attractive, but a little like an "event" space in my opinion.
For me, I would maybe lose the table cloth, or maybe the white urns or something. If the table is warm and wood - all the better. It will just take the edge off and soften the " hyper designed" feeling for me--like a woman wearing too much jewelry. Just eliminate a few things and you have a winner.

This was an event space for a charity! It was set for dinner! It was for the Stamford Museum in Stamford Connecticut, where we sold the items in the room to benefit the charity. Thank you for your comments.

Oh, that room makes total sense now! I didn't realize that. Well in that case I love it!!
