I love the light and warmth in this dining room. Light pours in through the large glass doors, igniting a glow from the bright woven rug and rich, honey coloured wood. The table base is actually made from a recycled pommel horse from the 1930s, the chandelier was crafted from recycled chrysanthemum guide wire. I love retro-fitted furniture, especially with results as beautiful as this table - improving upon something old, to make something new and beautiful. Now that's greener living at it's finest!
The rich heavy wood is a beautiful contrast to simple, recycled bottles and a delicate blossom.

love the glass bottles...!
These pictures literally made me gasp with pleasure. Thank you:-)
I think that chandelier is my new favorite light fixture! I'm stashing it away for future reference!
-I agree Cathi so simple...
-So glad you liked them Maryam :) I bet you have access to some really spectacular rugs where you are!
-Right Bank - isn't it fabulous? I bet it looks really striking illuminated as well
That light fixture is so unique and chic! I really like the scale and its ability to be the focal point, yet not overbearing. I, too, will stash that pic away...
:)
it is quite beautiful, all that light and the rug is gorgeous too.
The overall impact is fantastic, very retro, and the use of light in taking the photographs is ace :-)
