The Florence Dining Room
If you participated in the 2014 Georgetown House Tour, then you have seen the lovely Florence Home. There was a write up about it here. The dining room stands out as a great example of how to mix up modern and traditional elements to create an inviting space. The enlarged family photos provide a focal point and remind us that this is where a real family lives. The glass chain chandelier is lovely, again a modern take on a very traditional piece. And the room is finished off by a pop of color with some simple place mats and napkins. The great thing about bringing in color with accessories is you can change it up with your mood or the season.

Do you want to get this look in your own home? Here’s a round up of pieces that will help you achieve the feel.
1. Rectangular Glass Chain Chandelier | 2. Bermuda Dining Table
3. Green Trellis Placemats | 4. DIY Engineering Prints | 5. Tobias Chair
For the most part, these are all very affordable options. The glass chain chandelier is a splurge piece, if you’re looking for a less expensive option check out this chandelier. Engineering prints make a big statement for only $8, and don’t forget the fresh flowers. Next week we will feature an engineering print DIY, so check back!
