“When first approaching a room design, don’t
think about how you want it to look, think about how you want it to feel, what
mood, and emotion do you want it to give off. How do You want to feel when you
are at home – ask yourself that question first.” –Edyta Czajkowska

The Dining Room is one of my favorite
rooms in this house! I like the simplicity and calmness it brings, and no
matter where I am in the house, I always have a view of the dining room. My
first goal in re-designing a room is to create some sort of inviting focal
point to draw your attention to the room’s “character” with either
architectural elements, accent color, lighting, or even art work, etc. These
focal points help the eye move from room to room. For example, in the Living Room,
the enormous fireplace with the new paneled surface catches the eye first, then
the eye focuses in on the industrial metal light framed perfectly under the
beautiful archway leading into the Dining Room.

“Light is the magical ingredient that
makes or breaks a space; it’s one of the most important elements in all my
interiors.”-Benjamin Noriega-Ortiz
The calming blue/gray paint color
above the new board and batten walls acts as an accent color… also helping
bring the eye from the oversized fireplace to across the room. Using this color at the top of the paneled
surface and not an overall paint color in this room makes the space appear much
larger than what it actually is.
I topped
the room off with some neutral curtains (instead of blinds) so there will be
natural sunlight pouring in all day long. The length and height of the curtains
further helps accentuate the room’s nine foot ceilings.
Also, notice that the huge swinging
door leading into the kitchen is gone… Kitchen reveal is up next!
FYI: The black table and chairs was passed down to me. I will be using the black table because it goes well with the black light fixture. I am in the search of looking for other chairs for this room…Thoughts?
