My most favorite display at the leadership retreat was the dining room. I wanted to pick this room up and drop it in my home. Just look at all the eye candy!
Let’s start with the table. I want it! The rustic iron base and the weathered wood are absolutely perfect together. Did I mention I want this table???!!!
The next thing to love is all the interest in the seating. Stepping back and thinking about it, it is a hodge podge that you wouldn’t expect to see together. Our designers pull it together in the most fabulous way. I see wing back chairs at Goodwill for dirt cheap all the time. Slip on a creamy cover for an instant update!
This bench is covered in charcoal burlap. I have never stumbled on such loveliness but as soon as I do I will for sure scoop it up as you know I am truly obsessed with that sort of thing. Who knows what is under there? It could be almost anything but who cares! It’s fabulous!
To one end of the room the eye is drawn to this painting. You may recall I am a sucka for oxidizing copper and this painting makes think of just that. It was painted by a friend of our design team. Love it!
And down the other end of the room was this lovely sideboard. I want it, too!!!What is your eye most drawn to in this lovely room?
Happy weekend, friends!

I love, love, love that bench! So feminine with all that ruffle. Where could I put this in my house? Maybe I could figure out how to do that with the piano bench. Hmmm….
