Many homes do not have a formal
dining room, but for those homes that do, the dining room is
often the crown jewel for entertaining. This dining room features
rich hardwood floors giving a very traditional feel. Easy to
maintain with a simple dust mop and some dusting spray. It features
looks that are warm and friendly with an easy going, yet potential
to be very elegant. High windows allow ambient light to spill
in and a recessed highlight bay that is the perfect place to
show off that special holiday ornament. Perfect for a traditional
family dinner or that special evening of entertainment. This
dinning room makes a grand addition to any home.
Floors: Light oak hardwood floors are durable yet stylish.
Maintenance is a breeze with 3 coats of space age urethane. This
polyurethane finish will help the floor give many years of faithful
service while preserving the rich look of this light oak foundation.
Notice the opposing grain of the entry way into the kitchen.
This visually establishes the dining room as a separate entity
without compromising traffic flow.
Lighting: Recessed lighting adds a nice touch
of reflected light. The task lighting over the table invites
conversation and easiness. Take notice of the halogen accent
lights in the wall niche. They provide a focus while generously
illuminating items in the recess.
Dining Room Furniture: The traditional country table and chairs
dining room set keeps the contemporary architectural design of
the room in balance and creates harmony.
Hardware: Brass knobs and hinges add just the
right accent to the doors in this dining room.
Accessories: Plants and flower vases accent this
or any dining room with a touch of out doors. The natural brown
and tan colors of the various woods mixed with the subtle colors
of plants and flowers are the perfect combination to spruce up
a room. After all, who can argue with mother nature?
Bar: An open counter top to the kitchen is a nice touch
of form and function. It acts as a go-between for serving and
clearing, this counter top is a great transition from the preparing
area of the kitchen to the dining area. |
