A dining room that feels both sophisticated and cozy - a place where family gathers and conversations linger. My go-to way of achieving this balance is by incorporating vintage pieces into my spaces.
They bring charm, history and a touch of patina that new items can’t replicate. Layering these character-filled finds with more modern elements creates a space that feels timeless, inviting and uniquely yours.
Here I have my grandparents’ dining table, at least 100 years old, where I have memories eating fresh fish and corn on the cob while visiting my grandparents every summer in Cape Cod. It’s now the table where my son does his homework, my daughter plays with her Play Doh and where we eat as a family every single day. As for the dining room chairs, all three are antique Bentwood sweetheart chairs designed by Michael Thonet. My children lovingly call them the “heart chairs” and bring a sense of identity to the space that I absolutely adore.
Do you have furniture in your home that tells a story?
