Instead of a traditional red dining room, I used wall paper with red printed Chinese Peony's by Sanderson and a light neutral background to keep the room bright. Punched up the color in the swag and jabot window treatments and red in the crown. The chandelier was replaced with a larger scale antique brass chandelier. Down lighting was added to highlight the fireplace and add a nice glow at night. Darpery fabrication by Drapery Contractors, Baltimore MD
