Dining Room

Rooms in a Single House line up in a row, opening into each other. The Evanses’ dining room opens into the living room and kitchen and can be seen from both spaces. “We color-matched the wall paint to pick up the blues in a swatch of the living room curtain fabric,” says Angie. The paint color is strong enough to showcase the art and pull together varied furnishings, including Chinese Chippendale rattan and traditional mahogany pieces from Carolyn’s grandmother.

Steal this Idea: Dress down a formal table with casual painted chairs. We love the faux bamboo offerings from Ballard Designs; search “Macau chair” at ballarddesigns.com.
