room of the week : down to earth

When a young family approached designer Melissa Haynes to give their home a green makeover, Melissa was delighted to find that eco options abound when it comes to home design. She was able to create a gorgeous green space without sacrificing an ounce of her signature style. The natural grasscloth wallpaper was applied with no-VOC adhesive, and the dining chairs were recovered with durable vinyl rather than leather. We adore everything about this dining room!

What’s your favorite part of this room? Read more about the project here.

Room of the Week 11.16.10: The Dining Room

by

After sitting empty all summer—what with picnics at the park and dinners on the patio—it’s that time of year when the dining room gets readied for a season’s worth of entertaining. To toast Thanksgiving and beyond, here’s a roundup of some of our favorite dining spaces.

Color, color, color…this time of year has us thinking about little ways to brighten our rooms. One of my favorites is with flowers, and look how just a few yellow mums give this chic brown and white room an extra punch.

Designer Kevin Walsh of Bear-Hill Interiors used a Schumacher wallpaper to set the tone in this breakfast room in a Little Rock family home, then lacquered the chairs in white and added wipeable fabric on the seats to make them family friendly. A touch of yellow is all that was needed to brighten the palette–arranged in a few containers kept grouped on the table as a casual centerpiece.

What are your secrets for brightening rooms? We’ll share a few more color tricks-of-the-trade in the coming weeks.

Room of the Week 2.22.11

Our March issue is hot off the press, and for today’s room…my favorite space from our cover story.

It’s the combo dining and living room in Dr. James and Debbie Tinnin’s Fayetteville residence, a space that positively glowed with light coming in the French doors when we were visiting for our photo shoot.

The Tinnins designed the house around a central courtyard, with a series of French doors leading to a dining terrace. Gleaming marble floors reflect all that light, as does reflective mirrored surfaces and sleek furniture.

The tone on tone style is so sophisticated, we love how just a touch of color in flowers and plants enhances the interior.
