A sweet newly married couple just moved into their Charleston home with standard builder features in their dining room, like beige walls and oil rubbed light fixtures. With a little paint - Benjamin Moore’s Hale Navy - and some pretty gold home accessories, this formal dining room was well on its way to fabulous! We included Ballard Design gold pendants, Serena & Lily zig cotton dhurrie rug, Restoration Hardware pedestal dining table and chairs, Home Goods lamps and vases and coastal artwork framed in gold.

Also, the foyer! You don’t have to over accessorize an area to make a statement. The foyer, which started as an empty, blank slate, leads into the formal dining room. I really wanted to put in a settee or some type of seating but I could not find anything that suited the space. I chose the following - Home Decorators Reflections three piece cabinet with mirror doors, Homegoods tray, planter, lamp and jack accessories, GDC Home (Charleston) faux white leather books and area rugs, Serena & Lily pendant, original art - to make a light and refreshing white and pink foyer.
