Dining Room center piece

I have really been struggling to make my dining room table fill more complete. I found this in a magazine and have tried to copy it. My husband is sick of me asking him, "What do you think?" So I am turning to my blogging friends. Do you think this works? (I know everyone is decorating with fall things but I am just trying to get the everyday ordinary decor done).

My dining room

I added a red runner to make it fill a little dresser because it is a formal dining room. I had tried a white runner but it looked a little stark!



I still need to add some artwork to the walls and a few other things but this is what I have done so far. Let me know what you think before I go too far? Thanks

Wow, that looks soo nice. I really like it. You have a good eye for design. I'd never have been able to do that.

I love to look at magazines and get ideas. Lately, I have been looking at Pottery Barn-ohh, so fun!

I love your table decor! It all looks great on your table! I think the red table runner is a dressy touch!

Oh, and the husband getting tired of the girly decor questions...mine is right there too! HeeHee! What OUR men have to put up with! However, I think if we have to clean toilets they can smile and say,"looks great!" a couple of times!- Ha! HA!

it looks great. the red walls and the runner are beautiful. i honestly don't think you need much on the walls. maybe a couple of pretty white plates hanging, they could look really nice. but you obviously don't need any help, you've got a great eye for design.

What magazine whs that? I think that is the best way to decorate, copy. That way you know it's sure to look good.

Julianne said...

It looks so beautiful! Really, it looks perfect. You do have a good eye for decorating.

Heather said...

Now Meg, your house is lovely. I think the table looks really classy. You would probably laugh if you saw my decorating style. Pretty much whatever is free and comes my way. Such is life for now. I like the red table runner. I liked the comment about white plates on the wall. What a great idea. Good job with your classy decorating!

It looks great, Megan! Too cute! Magazines are so great whether we copy them verbatim or they just inspire us! Also, blogs are fun for that, too!
