Wednesday Woodworks - Dining Rooms, Refined

Dining rooms are a perfect place to profile fine woodworking.  This ebony stained hardwood floor creates a distinctive contrast to the larger than life windows that bathe this beautiful dining room in natural light.

These curvey ballisters are a lovely detail, as is the rich walnut hardwood flooring we only catch a glimpse of.  J'adore the combination of raw wood table base with the sleek and sophisticated marble table top.

This black and white beauty features high gloss lacquered hardwood floors, an incredible antique mantelpiece, top and bottom tailored trim, and a show stealing architectual moulding over the arched hallway.

A softer and simpler version of a refined dining room; coffeebean hardwood flooring, vintage restored mix and match chairs, and a charming custom cabinet to display favorite dishes.


White wainscoting and crown moulding set the scene in this nicely narrow dining room.  The warm walnut dining table creates a perfect focus point for the space.

This dashing dining room comes across as equally elegant as cozy.  The oversize mirror frame, floor to ceiling wood wall panelling, and interesting window detailing make this an unforgettable space.

This is an islandy take on a refined dining room featuring skinny planked hardwood flooring, bamboo director's chairs (see the above link for many more), and a uniquely framed ceiling which this image is a terrible tease.


As much as the previous image is a ceiling tease, this image will not leave one hanging from the bright white rafters.  Talk about a giant light bounce for a much deserving room.

This has to be one of my favorite dining rooms of all time.  The carved pedestal table base is iconic if indeed wood.  The built-in mirror frame nestled in wood paneling, neighboring arched french glass paneled doors opening up to what the decorative greenery alludes to, most likely a gorgeous garden.  Sigh . . . . .
