In spite of the cost of living, it’s still popular.  ~Kathy Norris<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

H<\/span>ow divine! Who doesn’t love walking into a glorious dining room? OK, granted most of us only use this room a few times a year…I know I am guilty of it but I can’t help it…..there is something so magical about walking into a beautifully done dining room. So here I have put together a lovely little collection of a great group of different  styles of dining rooms. As I am starting to plan out my own dining room, I am realizing I am not as sure of my ideas as I had once thought. The ONLY thing I know for sure, is that I want to use a chinoiserie on the walls, other than that I am open to ideas! <\/span><\/span>

<\/span><\/span>
 I know I have  a few favorites…do you? I got a few great ideas from these “inspiration photos” I have always loved seeing a sofa or small love seat in a dining room. I like seeing two or even three chandeliers….if it works in the space, it makes it interesting. I love two round tables if the room allows for it. Love book shelves in a dining room…could it not feel any more inviting and well lived in?  Would love to know what you like and why. If you had a plain room with absolutely nothing in it and four blank white walls…..what would you do to it to create your<\/i> dream dining room? Would love to hear your ideas! <\/span><\/span>
