I have been wondering for months what to do with my dining room. Dark? Bright? Wallpaper? I don’t have very good recent photos because I hate the room – this one is the most recent that shows a decent amount of the space. (The floors are now stained grey!)  Nothing has really stood out until I suddenly started thinking about pale pink. Then I started thinking about pale pink with dark grey trim. Then I started getting very excited. I am pretty sure pale pink is the route I want to take with the walls (trim will probably just be the same colour or a shade darker so it’s not too choppy, and the doors maybe the black blue of the foyer…and not sure about the ceiling). I have been eyeballing Farrow & Ball‘s Pink Ground, Setting Plaster and Calamine. I think Pink Ground on walls and Setting Plaster on trim could be really gorgeous. I have sent a request for samples so those are on the way. In the meantime, I went looking for inspiration and found all kinds of pretty pinks. And based on the first 2 photos, I think I need heavy velvet burgundy drapes.

Yvonne Koné’s shop (Farrow & Ball’s Pink Ground) LOOOVE THIS!!! So pretty with grey floors – mine are a couple of shades darker than this.
