Fine Dining!

I came across this dining room while visiting the House Beautiful website. I think this dining area is amazing! I love the round table, the chairs are gorgeous and the pink accent wall looks beautiful.

This room is from a beach house in Georgia. I like the shell pictures on the walls by the arched entryway (I absolutely love arched entryways!). The chandelier is very complimentary to the space and the chairs look awesome..... the chair shape is very similar to High Fashion Home's Stella chair.

 And because the other colors in the room are very neutral the pink accent wall just pops and looks fabulous! The color is Pink Carnation by Glidden.

Giveaway Time! Win a sweet crochet cushion...



































Ellen Hamlin (under the craft name AlxMcKenzie) makes the sweetest, brightest little crochet darlings I've seen in New Zealand so far. As well as cushion covers, she makes garlands, coasters, pin cushions, 'granny stones' (crochet-covered river stones) and more. 

I recently bought myself two sweet crochet cushion covers (the top design - lots of white with bright colours and a row of different vintage white buttons) and a Granny Stone to use as an ornament on my office desk... and I was so stoked with the quality of it when it arrived that I thought you might want one too. And Ellen, being the good sort she is, said the winner can choose their colour palette! 

Update | We have a winner - Hilary Johnston, Come on Down! (eeek)
Thanks all of you for entering and being generally awesome people.
