I often smile at the many styles featured within our home. 

From Traditional to Farmhouse to English Country to French Country and everything in between.  There are even room with  a combination of all three.  Years ago, the word “eclectic” became popular as a way to desribe of mixture of styles. I think whoever coined this word must have walked through my home.  I recently added a few changes to our formal Dining Room.  The goal was to “de-formalize” it and bring in a more casual and approachable style.  I am sharing one of those changes here…

The biggest change is our huge brick fireplace. I will share that next week along with my Fall mantel.  On the opposite side of the fireplace, I added some beadboard. Not the traditional beadboard, but the larger slat variety.  I adore this look. Our dining room is an inner room and does not get a lot of natural light. I felt by adding a wall of white beadboard, it would help lighten the room.  It would also take away from the formality of the room.

Here is a before of our Dining Room…

I have to stop here and say that I was completely inspired by one of my BFF’s, Suzy at Worthing Court.  She recently re-did their Dining Room and when I visited her recently and saw this beautiful space, I knew it was the answer to our dark dining room issues.  

Our lower walls already featured mouldings, so I decided (at least for now) to save those and apply the beadboard above the chair rail.  I may change it later, but for now I like the combination,

We moved out the vintage bow-front chest to the Foyer, and replaced it with an older buffet I bought years ago from The Bombay Co.  Y’all remember that store?  I am so sad it went out of business.  I am trying to decide whether or not I should paint this piece.  I am leaning towards YES, although The Hubbs is saying no.  (um, hello?  It’s not like it’s real wood or a valued heirloom)  LOL  What do YOU think?  Paint…yay or nay.  (I want to leave the top dark btw.)

I knew my beloved pink and white Staffordshire plates would remain.  And my fave landscape print.  But, I wanted a change. I wanted to add a bit of farmhouse to the English Country style.  I remembered I had several pairs of shutters left over from flip house jobs.  So I went digging through and found two black ones which would work.  The size that is, not the color.

After a few layers of paint, which I will share next week, they were perfect.  Once the plates were added back on the wall, I was in love with the way it turned out.  I guess you could call it “eclectic.”  😀

My beloved Vintage Staffordshire Soup Tureen is filled with a faux arrangement for now.  We are  heading to the NC Mountains next week and I will be bringing back a Suburban full of pumpkins and gourds from the Farmer’s Market.

I added lots of pheasant and quail feathers to the arrangement…

 I added my pair of pheasants flanking the tureen…

I may be adding in some more pink and white dishes, and I am on the lookout for some alternative chairs to place on each side of the buffet, but for now I am happy with the results.

    Oh, it looks amazing! What a difference. I love the color and can’t wait to see how you painted those shutters. I like the table just as it is, but I think it would look awesome painted too, so I vote YES!

    Beautiful!! Did you remove the moldings before putting up the breadboard or just butt it up against them? (And nailed or glued?)

      Hi Terry – there was a wide chair rail above the mouldings so we just butted the beadboard paneling right up to the chair rail Easy peasey. 😀
      Thanks for stopping by. ~ Barb

    Dear Barb,
    when I saw your picture and “new old buffet” I instantly knew those items were from The Bombay Co. I worked for them 20yrs. ago at South Coast Plaza in Orange county Calif. I have a blanket (hope style chest) that I’m thinking about repurposing as a coffee table. I will watch for your buffet restyling, a wonderful idea!
    Love your room it feels so warm and huggy. I think any meal taken here would feel so special!
    Thanks for your creativity……………….Susan

      Hi Susan,
      I worked for them for several years too in Colorado. I sure do miss that store. You can surely tell a Bombay piece from a mile away can’t you? 🙂
      I have a blanket chest too we use as a toy chest for my grands. I am truly leaning towards painting it. 🙂 Thanks for your very sweet words and also for stopping by for a visit. ~ Barb

    Love everything. Opinion about the buffet: I like the unpainted buffet, but not with that picture/frame. You have soft muted colors above and across the wall, and the buffet seems out of place. However, if your frame was darker, I think it would pull the eye to the whole area. Or a softer color on the buffet would also look good with the current picture/frame. I love those pheasants!

    Just very lovely Barb. Think that beadboard did just want you wanted it to do..helped the room become a little less formal. And I had to laugh as your design ‘style’ seems very much like mine…eclectic. I can’t chose just one style, or one color for that matter. I could never do the white farmhouse look!
    thanks for the inspiration.

    Have a great day.
