Yay, it’s Friday! We’re dining out at Open City tonight (has anyone tried it?) and have a weekend of chores, visit to College Station to see a friend’s baby boy, and probably some laptop hunting as I think mine has officially died. Due to the computer cord situation, I have been working from our dining table the past couple of days, which has actually been a nice change of pace. However I wish our dining room looked liked either of these recently featured in D Magazine.
This room is in the home of interior designer Alice Cottrell. She made the most of her 750 sq ft apartment by actually using large pieces of furniture such as a long sofa with a Ligne Roset table. It gives the impression of a cozy banquette, a feature that I would love in our own dining room one day.
And the second dining room belongs to Dallas’s new symphony conductor Jaap van Zweden and his wife, Aaltje, who currently reside in a condo at the Ritz Residences. They brought several modern Dutch paintings and prized possessions with them from Amsterdam but designer Sherry Hayslip largely took care of the rest of the home. The light fixture is incredibly striking while the color palette is moody in this swanky dining room.
Hope you all enjoy your weekends!

You’ll have to let me know what you think of the restaurant. I haven’t heard of it. I love the first image and am obsessed with banquette dining rooms ever since I saw Peter Denham’s design. I love that the look is at once relaxed, yet special.

Wow I love that first image. I just returned my 2nd dining room table and chairs and now have a blank room again. So I love all these inspiration. I wonder if I could do the same in my room. Hmm. I’ll have to look into it.
Hope you had a great weekend!

27 NFL jerseys : Jul 22, 2010 at 2:44 am
nfl jerseys have mentioned this before,but cheap nfl jerseys are going to say wholesale nfl jerseys again.Lately,everything Football Jerseys do turns into keyword research.NBA Jerseys love writing and MLB Jerseys have figured out a way to monetize nfl jerseys cheap – I’ve found something saints jerseys love and I’m getting paid for doing new orleans saints jerseys. If you’re interested in another new orleans jerseys to create an income,check out my make drew brees jerseys HubPages and the of course join cheap saints jerseys.Anyway, back in January ‘08 when dallas cowboys jerseys joined HubPages I was out on maternity dallas cowboys jersey.Unfortunately,at that time,vikings jerseys were not eligible for the buffalo bills jerseys safety net of the miami dolphins jerseys by my employer or jets jersey by the state of New jets jerseys cheap.Now,in 2010,after pittsburgh steelers jerseys had that debilitating accident a few steeler jerseys years ago a new law has been passed and indianapolis colts jerseys many fall under it – the peyton manning jerseys.New Jersey is one of the first three new york giants jerseys to put this type of law into effect.
28 MBT shoes : Jul 22, 2010 at 2:45 am
Now mbt shoes will state that these MBT shoes sale are not everyday walking skechers shoes.I would never reccommend going to work in discount mbt shoes within the first few months.The mbt shoes cheap is to start slow.5- 10 minutes a skechers shape up for the first three days,then increase at a comfortable Discount MBT.
They are designed to give your MBT Chapa the motion of walking on MBT Changa,a movement that requires the MBT Tataga of almost every muscle from your MBT Fora to your neck,forcing you to continually readjust your MBT Fanaka to gain its center of MBT Kaya.Take a look at people who walk at least 30 MBT Tunisha a day. Those who walk on the MBT Tembea become toned fasted than those who walk on flat,solid MBT VOI.
29 UGG boots : Jul 22, 2010 at 2:46 am
ugg boots can save huge amounts of money by buying your ugg on sale online.It is always cheaper to buy from the UGG Bailey Button,rather than to buy from well known shopping tall ugg boots.The reason for is that the well known shopping discount ugg boots have to pay extra bills that an online ugg boots uk would not have to pay.For example,cheap ugg boots,electricity,heating, rent bills etc.Some UGG Classic Tall Boots might think that perhaps the shopping UGG Classic Cardy Boots would surely buy in bigger ugg cardy so can therefore sell the classic cardy boots at a cheaper price – however this is not always the classic cardy grey.More and more ugg classic tall are using the classic tall chestnut on a daily basis to do their bailey button boots,and therefore the orders going through the ugg button bailey for items such as ugg button and fashion are shooting up every ugg classic short.The shops that have been dominant for so many womens ugg boots are now starting to realise that in order to keep up with the online companies.
