Inspired Whims: Dining Space Double-Take

Dining Space Double-Take

If you're like me, you probably love flipping through shelter magazines any time you get a chance. I see so many rooms that I love, at times it's almost overwhelming! Something I wish they would always add to the photo captions is the sources for the items and the prices. I have a feeling they don't always do that because the prices are so exorbitant it would knock our socks off just reading it...

Here is a very warm and welcoming dining space that I came across in Elle Decor last month - I was immediately drawn to the richness of the colors albeit a mostly neutral space and the overall "collected" look.

Isn't it inviting and just eclectically cool? It looks like everything in the room has it's own story, which would surely be welcomed alongside a glass of orange juice or cup of coffee.

Knowing the room belonged to the VP of Jayson Home - a home furniture and accessory website with simply gorgeous (and pricy) items - I knew it probably cost a pretty penny, or at least a decade of antique hunting, to furnish this beautiful space. I set out to find similar items in order to replicate the overall look of the space on a stricter budget. Here is the result in an inspiration board fomat...please tell me what you think.
