Gorgeous color -- and can't WAIT to see that pretty fabric on the chairs! Great choice! :)

That fabric looks terrific with your draperies.

That is just lovely KSWL. I adore damask and the green is a lovely shade. I am so anxious to see the chairs completed!

Nice!

LOVEâ¦also love your plaid curtains!!

Oooo.... I like!

Gosh, I have to say I am more than a little surprised! Damask is super traditional and you don't see it used that much any more. I thought it was completely out of favor, that i was practically recreating my grandmother's dining room.

But come to think of it, she would never have used green damask in a red room, so maybe that's what keeps it from being totally old ladyish? Lol, whatever it is I'm glad it appeals to discriminating people and not just me :-)

I just love seeing color, again. The neutral rooms that have been so popular can be pretty, but I'm a color person at heart. I also tend to be traditional with a little bizarro thrown in for fun ;)

The apple green and red is making my mouth water, LOL!

Love it Kswl! I think the apple green is what is keeping it fresh for me. A forest green would def lean grandmotherly, but that brighter green on the super traditional damask is perfect.

Whew!!! I thought you were going to repaint that luscious red! So glad it's just getting some delicious green company!

Lol, Anele! ID asked me if I was ready to "give up" the red walls and I said absolutely not. If I were to do something different I would wallpaper but I'm just not feeling that right now. Maybe someday....a mural paper...not anytime in the near future. I've had a red dining room for twelve years and it is just so lovely at Christmas, with all the silver out and white tablecloths or placemats, I don't know if I could ever give it up.

You know, Jackson, there was a time when forest green was just the greatest and latest. I wonder what shade of green we'll be using in 20 years??

It like it a lot. I really enjoy seeing photos of your home. It's refreshing to see pictures with color!

very nice!! traditional is always nice, imo-- esp in a formal dining room!

Just lovely...so fresh and pretty!

I love wallpaper, too. I have spent the last 2 years in this home trying to figure out how to replicate hand-painted Chinoiserie paper in one section of my dining room (on a ghost budget!).

So glad you kept the red. I bet it is stunning at Christmas. I have thought about all of the holidays that work with red. I would say, most do.

Still at a crossroads about painting my LR red. Red or ivory--not sure! If I pick ivory, for certain I will paint my entryway red.

thank you for sharing. you have exquisite taste and a decorating adventure with you is certainly a pleasant ride from start to finish.

Great choice!!

I remember discussions about this project before. Weren't you looking chinoiserie or embroidery? Might you still use that for a runner?
