Mood Board Monday - #JugadorHill Dining Room
Happy Monday friends! For this week’s #DHCMoodBoard we’re featuring the plan for our formal dining room. The goal of this space was to keep it light and airy so we could focus on the views right outside the room. We were also on a shoe string budget for this space so we’re sharing some tips on how to spend your money wisely!
As always, we needed a jumping off point, hence the inspiration photo above. From there it started with the light fixture. We wanted to stay true to the architecture of the space so we incorporated a fun, mid-century chandelier that really emphasized the vaulted ceilings in the space. The one we chose had just the right amount of understated style, airiness and price point was pocket friendly!
From there, the hunt for our dining room table began. This was a tough one because we needed a sizable black table that was simplistic and budget friendly. When we could not find what we were looking for within budget we landed on this CB2 dark brown table (comes in two sizes). It was a better than expected piece, but we will be staining it black to achieve the look we’re going for. Stay tuned for that DIY!
I have always wanted wishbone dining chairs. With kids I feel like the cleaning of crumbs in all the little woven cracks can be risky but because this isn’t our everyday dining space we went for these on Amazon! Our bar cart was from our previous house and the brass fit in nicely and I was finally able to hang a piece of my grandma’s art I had been carrying around for years!
Another main part of the room, and our splurge for the space, will be the sideboard that we have yet to buy. I have had my eye on this one from McGee & Co. At 80” in length and 33” tall, it is one of the largest sideboard’s I’ve come across and fits our space perfectly. I plan to stage it with some oversized art work and soft table lighting and it’ll double as the perfect serving area for holiday meals with family.
From there, we accessorized with unique glassware and mixed materials.
