Large Round Dining Tables

Recently, one of my readers asked me where she can purchase a large round dining table that seats 8 similar to my Berkley Vallone’s post (see photos below).  I have decided to answer her question through a blog post in case other readers had a similar question.

 

 

 

To seat 8 people, a round dining table should be at  least 72” in diameter.  Here are a couple of tables I found through my search:

 

 

Rosemont Round Dining Table has a beautiful walnut finish.  This table is 60” with a expandable leaf of 20”.  Best of all, it’s eco-friendly! It’s made out of sustainable harvest wood. Cost $3,000

 

 

Another great table.  The Cherry Round Dining Table is 60” long with a 16” leaf. Cost $2,149

 

 

I really like this one! Made out of birch hardwood and covered in a Silver Snow finish. This table extends to 84”. Cost $2,499

 

 

For more of a casual look, you may want to consider these tables:

 

Monroe 72” Round Table by Crate and Barrel. Cost $1,999

 

 

The Marceline Round Dining Table extends to 72” Cost was not listed.

 

 

I hope this answers your question!

My Wallpaper Fetish

I am really stating to obsess over wallpaper. Wallpaper is no longer plain and boring. It’s now an art form. The sophistication it adds to any room is priceless. I especially like when wallpaper is added to one wall to give it texture and of course a focal point. Take a look at some delicious eye candy below…….

Love it!

While doing a search on Jonathan Adler, I came across these tips that I had to share with my readers…..ENJOY!

Jonathan Adler’s 15 Fabulous Design Tips**

1. Mix and match with panache. Don’t be tentative with patterns. If you keep your color scheme restrained, you can approach patterns with wild abandon.

2. When in doubt, repeat, repeat, repeat your patterns.

3. Don’t fit in. Scale is the most under-considered piece of the decorating puzzle. Put a Gothic throne in a studio apartment.

4. Paint your floors white. You’ll feel carefree.

5. Orange is the poppiest color and the answer to most decorating conundrums. Lacquer your front door orange. Pique your neighbor’s curiosity.

6. Layer, layer, layer. Unexpected touches are the soul of the MAXIMALIST HOME: A painting hung on a bookcase, a chandelier in a closet, a brass lion’s-head door knocker in a modern apartment.

7. If you’re a clean modernist, try white grass-cloth for a little warmth.

8. Chocolate brown and baby blue are perfect together. They’re uptown, they’re downtown, they’re classic and fashion forward.

9. Replace white walls with unexpected neutrals like camel, olive, or baby blue.

10. Put regal furniture in your bathroom.

11. When in doubt, add mirrors for extra glamour, put a piece of mirror on top of a cabinet to make it sparkle or in a niche to create the illusion of depth.

12. Primary colors are happy colors – use them abundantly.

13. Let go of coordinating colors. Colors can’t clash. However, when in doubt - brown is your foundation. Brown with red is innately chic.

14. Go for grandeur with a giant chandelier.

15. Make your own – Personal style means having a space that’s comfy but filled with stuff that has meaning to you. It should hold things created and inspired by passionate people. Personal style should make you happy and happiness is chic.
