A place to dine with Tott

Here's the big guy at our little breakfast nook. It's in need of a new dining table. I am thinking something really modern or a restaurant-style stainless steel table. I'll give you an update when I finally decide. 
But in the meantime, here are some of the lovely dining spaces I found in my search for a new table.

I think this might be the prettiest dining room. That bench - amazing! The numbers framed. I love numbers and the type set is perfect. Another thing I really love, is outdoor space directly off a dining room. So nice for entertaining.

This is precious. The orange and aqua colors are so great. The table is so fun too. Check out the vintage lights. They are hung with rope instead of wire. What a great breakfast nook. The whole house is really incredible. Click on the link for a full tour.

The grey walls are really soothing. It's a bit over the top for my taste, but I still really like it. 
 
The light is amazing. Looks like the lavendar is floating. The carpet adds a really nice texture.

Adore these teal chairs and look at the print on the back, so cute. Great pink chandelier and chocolate wallpaper. Not too mention that incredible memo | inspiration work of art.  What a fabulous idea. 


The two images above are from one of my favorite's Côté Bastide. Everything they produce is gorgeous.The linen table cloth is awesome; love the black stripes and words on it.

Great neutral tones. Love the detail on the chairs and the piece of art on the table.

Oh, I want these - steel casement french windows and door. The chandelier is incredible too.

This is quite formal for my taste, but it's really interesting. Look at the primitive sideboard with the chicken wire and the country table. I think it all works so well the modern wallpaper and formal curtains. Orissa wallpaper from the Cypress Collection by Thibaut, www.thibautdesign.com.

I think this room is beautiful. The dark colors with the white accents and the wonderful shadows. 
 

Saarinen tulip table and Norman Cherner chairs. Gorgeous! Adore the chandelier on the wall in that light grey (seems like it's always in a black). Look at the molding and detail on the walls, so pretty.




















This is Mike Dollahite's home. It's really amazing and it's right around the corner from me. I stumbled by it years ago and since then, it's been featured in Dwell and other magazines. He built it himself. Head over to his website for even more pics.  Rural Theory
