View into formal dining room from grand entry foyer. The floors of this home were stained with a custom blend of walnut and dark oak stain to let the grain of the white oak shine through. The walls have all been paneled and painted a crisp white to set off the stark gray used on the upper part of the walls, above the paneling. A silk light grey rug sits proud under a 12' wide custom dining table. Reclaimed wood planks from Canada and an industrial steel base harden the soft lines of the room and provide a bit of whimsy. Dining benches sit on one side of the table, and four leather and nail head studded chairs flank the other side. The table comfortably sits a party of 12.

Zylstra Art and Design was hired to do a color consultation to update the look and style of the home, along with artwork and furniture placement. This listed 1.2 million dollar home is staged to sell!
Our goal was to decorate the Dining Room and adjacent Sitting Room in such a way that it was as refined and elegant as the house; yet fun and happy for this young family.
The Dining Room is Refined and Playful at its best with the Schumacher Singeres Wallpaper, which is the name given to visual arts genre depicting monkeys imitating humans from the French Rococo Period. We paired it with simple window treatments and a stippled silver-leaf ceiling treatment. It was important for the growing family to be able to seat many for meals and have a sturdy table. The hand-planed table top detail was perfect, balanced with a light fixture that has equal presence. The host and hostess chairs are offset by lighter fabrics on the side chairs with a bit of contrast trim. The banquette was chosen to be able to accommodate more child-size bottoms than side chairs could.

We built in a window seat bench (with handy storage inside) in the bay window for optimum use of the space and a handy dining nook. The roman blinds add a nice touch with the other soft furnishings.
