In my daughter’s new home we used mix of clean lined reproduction and vintage furnishings.
Over the past year, our youngest daughter (DD2) has enjoyed bringing a mid-90′s house into this century. Entering her home, the foyer opens into the dining room (to the right) and living room (straight ahead). The living area was featured a few weeks ago when I showed the steps taken to achieve an Informal Picture Wall.
The dining area was actually the first completed space. The brass light fixture was replaced with a modern-shade chandelier, selected to compliment the shape of the glass top table from her previous town home. The heathered chenille jute rug was originally in the living area, with the plan to move here when a replacement was found. The clean-lined sideboard and Asian-style console (next to the front door) came from a locally owned home store, along with the large horse canvas. Reproduction accessories include an iron scale, glass jug lamp and mercury glass items placed on a red metal serving tray.
One of my favorite finds was this vintage metal humidifier table. Its shapely legs are wooden, but the rest is gorgeous pierced metal. The top lifts open and water was poured into the holding tank. You can see the the larger fan’s shadow at the bottom. A second, smaller fan was located near heating coils. The first artwork purchased years ago by DD2 was the abstract tree. It’s the perfect final touch to the room. Lola, one of her cats, seems to think so too.
Gorgeous room! Your daughter is so lucky to have gained such a great sense of style from you. I love the chandelier and the humidifier was such a terrific find! Thanks for sharing.

So pretty…I love the mix of furniture!!! Have a beautiful week!!!
I love the mix of furnishings and adore that horse canvas.
I love what you did to your daughter’s dining room. Love the color and the lean lines. To answer your question, Allison, the sprinkler system is called a wet deck. Actually I have not seen it in any other home either and we had it installed because we thought our young grandchidren would enjoy it. Well, the older ones enjoy it too, lol….Christine
It all looks lovely, but I ADORE the horse picture and the new light.
Your daughter did such a nice job. The humidifer was such a nice find!
I love the way the dining room turned out! So much better than before. Great job!

Thank you all for stopping by! The feel of the house has come a long way. She found the horse canvas and feel in love. It’s over-sized at 60×40, but perfect for the space.
Very pretty room. I have been looking at the Drum lighting. i find them very attractive. The room turned out beautiful
wow, that looks so nice!! Nice and clean and streamlined. Great job!
What a fabulous transformation. The wall color makes the entire room feel so much warmer. Love that repurposed little table. Glad to see the brass light fixure go;-)
What a wonderful room – all the details work together beautifully! Love the updates, too! Linda
Very nice! I just love rooms that have a mix of furnishings. The piece next to the window looks real interesting. I would love to see a closeup. Well done! Thanks for visiting.
Beautiful and classic styling that will look good for years.
Thanks for visiting today, I enjoyed your comments.
Love the space..especially loving the chandelier for this space. Great job!
Fabulous. The updated wall color and fixture alone were a tremendous improvement. The furniture pieces look like they were picked out specifically for this space. Well done.

She did a great job of updating the dining room. Beautiful!
Thank you!
Several have emailed asking where the horse canvas was purchased. The canvas, sideboard and Asian chest – At Home. You can email me (allison@atticmag.com) if you can’t locate their website for phone number (they don’t sell from their website).
The horse canvas is a giclee by North Carolina artist Patrick Wright. By searching his name, you can find this canvas as well as other works by him.
Fabulous. Must be nice to have a designing mom!
Allison, your DD’s house is really looking lovely. I love it! What a lucky girl she is to have you as a mom. And I’m sure you’re lucky to have her as a DD. I’ve been following and I love the friendly, young vibe of the entire space. It’s so exciting to have your first “real” space and decorate it your way. And then get to relax and enjoy it.
Hi Ivette. It’s good to see you. Thanks!
Finally got the time to visit! Love the horses and the drum shade chandy! Looks fantastic!
