Dark and Cozy or Bright and Energetic
Our dining room currently is in limbo. We’ve “carved out” a space in between the living room and the kitchen and we call it our “dining room”. Such is apartment living in NY, folks.
In any case, we have a beautiful cast iron dining table base with a round beveled plywood tabletop. This tabletop is waiting to be stained blue and/or covered with some coffee burlap sacks. WAITING is the key word. WAITING as in waiting for some warmer weather so we can stain and polyurethane with all windows wide open. WAITING as in waiting for a weekend with absolutely no plans or continuously demanding chores. WAITING as waiting for that driving motivation to get things started. I could go on and on and on and on like the energizer bunny. Where is he now anyway…..
So, while we WAIT, ponder and contemplate just how lovely our future dining table will be, I am having wonderful daydreams about my ideal dining room. I love the instant warmth and coziness of a darker space played up with lighter furniture pieces. At the same time, I also love a bright, happy and energetic light space….
Which to choose, which to choose……
