Pulling Together the Dining Room

I've had a deep love for peacock mirrors for some time now...

I put together a Style Board @here featuring one. The look is also very much in line with the whole Spanish Revival vibe I talked about @here too. 

Anyway, I finally pulled the trigger tonight and purchased this beauty for our new dining room...No, it's not antique, but it is affordable @$150...that's 50% off the original price! Purchase yours @here. 

I figure now is as good of a time as ever to share some thoughts on how I see the dining room coming together. This beauty will hang over the fireplace {you can peep it @here}. I pulled an antique French Empire chandelier out of an Estate here in Richmond a couple of months ago that is absolutely jaw-dropping, and that'll be a main focal point. I also purchased this ceiling medallion to hang with it...

Good, right? And the ceiling walls will be painted a dark aubergine color...something like this...

We'll be using our Mid Century parson's style dining table and 70's Mod Tucroma chairs that I talked about in this post...

Our bar cart will live in one corner...

And a TBD lacquered modern china cabinet will live in the other {something with fretwork detailing, like this maybe}?...

For the rug, I think something washed out-looking in a light palette and of course pooling, silk drapes and brass curtain hardware! 

What do you think...dramatic enough for an intimate dinner party?? I sure hope so! xx
