To take advantage of the view, the designer offset the dining table to the right to enable a pair of spool chairs and ottomans on the left. The trestle table can receive two-24" leaves and the table is pulled to the center of the room for holiday meals. With the business of the room and its variety of uses, tone on tones of grey and blue keep the room calm and sophisticated.

Dining room - coastal dining room idea in New York with blue walls

A transitional dining room, where we incorporated the clients' antique dining table and paired it up with chairs that are a mix of upholstery and wooden accents. A traditional navy and cream rug anchors the furniture, and dark gray walls with accents of brass, mirror and some color in the artwork and accessories pull the space together.

Having been neglected for nearly 50 years, this home was rescued by new owners who sought to restore the home to its original grandeur. Prominently located on the rocky shoreline, its presence welcomes all who enter into Marblehead from the Boston area. The exterior respects tradition; the interior combines tradition with a sparse respect for proportion, scale and unadorned beauty of space and light. This project was featured in Design New England Magazine. http://bit.ly/SVResurrection Photo Credit: Eric Roth

Full view of the dining room in a high rise condo. The building has a concrete ceiling so a drop down soffit complete with LED lighting for ambiance worked beautifully. The floor is 24" x 24 " of honed limestone installed on a diagonal pattern. "I moved from a 3 BR home in the suburbs to 900 square feet. Of course I needed lots of storage!" The perfect storage solution is in this built-in dining buffet. It blends flawlessly with the room's design while showcasing the Bas Relief artwork. Three deep drawers on the left for table linens,and silverware. The center panel is divided in half with pull out trays to hold crystal, china, and serving pieces. The last section has a file drawer that holds favorite family recipes. The glass shelves boast a variety of collectibles and antiques. The chairs are from Decorative Crafts. The table base is imported from France, but one can be made by O'Brien Ironworks. Glass top to size. Robert Benson Photography. H&B Woodworking, Ct. (Built-ins). Complete Carpentry, Ct.
