Historic Tyler Spring Home Tour - The Designer Showcase

This past weekend was the 2013 Historic Tyler Home Tour. Each year, beautiful historic homes are chosen to be on the tour. Visitors get a chance to tour 4-5 houses over the weekend. In addition to the tour, one house is chosen to be the Designer Showcase where designers around town get to decorate one room in the home.

Brandy and I were chosen to design the dining room and we are excited to reveal it to you today!!!

Here's what we started with:
mid-century modern home, eclectic modern dining room, abstract art, banquette dining, glass dining table
This is the design rendering (sketch) of the dining room, and, wait for it...

The finished product! We decided to nix the yellow stripe on the other walls because of time constraints. We only had a day and a half to set all this up!

Let's take a little tour around the room:

We wanted to in-coporate this 1950's radio/record player as a buffet but it was just a little too short. So, we layered an acrylic console over it to bring up the height. It looks awesome! This gave us the chance to add books and bowls underneath and they looked so cool through the clear console.

Do you recognize these chairs? If you follow my on facebook you know that these were my garage sale find! I had them recovered in this gorgeous fabric and they were they perfect fit for the space. That door you see is a sliding barn door that leads to the kitchen.

The lounge chair on the other side of the room. The lamp you see is a vintage lab stand that we wrapped this teal cord pendant through. Can you spot our gold-dipped firewood! It was the talk of the show!

Another huge hit was the gallery picture ledge wall. This was a big statement for a small cost.

Here's a wide angle shot of the entire space.

And here's the actual space

Brandy and I had a great time designing and implementing the dining room of this fabulous mid-century modern home. It was a long weekend but well worth it. We are already looking forward to next year!
