Before: Dated Dining Room

The dining room's surfaces hadn't seen an update in a generation or more. Worn carpeting, dated wallpaper, and a tired light fixture conspired against the room's simple charms.

The Solution: Surface updates -- tearing out the carpet, wallpaper, and chair rail -- let the period windows become the room's focal point. Mixed textures of woven grasses, rustic woods, and nubby linen provide a backdrop for the couple's ever-changing accessories.
