My Favorite Place in the House

I am blessed with a beautiful home so I have many areas I love. But just now, I am in love with my new dining room! It was red for many years and even though NO ONE wanted me to paint it, everyone loves the new change!

This is a leaded glass window we had made just for this spot. I love this area the best. The sideboard is the first "real" piece of nice furniture we ever bought.......

Very nice change in color Lorraine. I especially love the stained furniture. It brings the room to life.

Very sophisticated and elegant. Please tell me this is wall paper and you didn't stencil the entire room.

Putting a soft and low contrast pattern on the walls really warms up this space. . . good job.
