Dining Room Update-mini post

Not sure If I have already shared this, but we painted our dining room Navy Blue. The way this coordinates with the new living room furniture makes me so excited about the way everything works together. The green throw pillows on the couches pop even more against the navy backdrop in the distance. I thought I would share pictures of the dining room. I need to re-cover the chairs and choose a rug, but otherwise, I am pretty happy with how it looks. Plus my Vera Wang vase looks so great with Hydrangea from my yard- they have stayed green for over month now and even though I am pretty sure they are dead- they look fabulous.

My Bed

This is what my bedding looks like. It isn't girly, but I suppose it is still preppy. It is made by Ralph Lauren and it is all inspired by classic men's suiting. It has the pinstripe in the duvet cover and shams, the camel coat inspired blanket, The shirting stripe sheets and I even have hounds tooth Euro-shams that are supposedly supposed to represent the pocket square. I love my bedding, and I love that Big Guy really loves it, but it is difficult to decide how to design a room around it. I don't have the bed in the above picture and I honestly think a dark wood or leather would strike a better look. Anyone have any ideas for a wall color or accessories or even some ideas on how to finish the look- I am thinking I could go one of two ways- executive chic or old school gentleman's club. I like the thought of both but wanted to get some feedback.

I was walking by Pottery Barn the other day and after I passed the window I stopped in my tracks and had to go back. I had caught a glimpse of this chair in the window. I kind of LOVE it! It scares me a little because I feel like it is very retro-preppy, but maybe it isn't...Maybe it is just classic? I want to put in in my sunroom or my casual sitting room and mix in all sorts of other coordinating colors and patterns or maybe put it in a room full of whites and kahkis. I haven't seen anything like this, and I love that pottery barn came out with it!
