Black and White Dining Room After

Homeowner Jennifer Eggleston knocked down a wall between the living and dining rooms to open up the cramped space.
 Cottage Chic: Jennifer created a light and bright look with her mix of minimalist accessories and flea market savvy. “This room has sparseness, but it’s not contemporary,” Jennifer says.
 Simple Style: Lightening the look begins with white on the walls. Black accents and industrial-look pieces such as the metal reproduction French bistro chairs add an urban edge.
 Affordable Accent: Instead of a chandelier, this paper lantern “glows like a moon”. Plus, it adds big style for a low price. Jennifer paid less than $30 for hers.
