White Lacquer Dining Room

stevieb — Sun, 24 Feb 2019 00:39:44 GMT

This would normally not be my choice. I don't tend to like rooms that are essentially a monochrome, nor a sleek contemporary look and I actively dislike 'two story room', which, to me, lack warmth and I prefer rooms with 'boundaries'... Still, somehow, I really do like this room...

Even though the title said DR, in my eye I saw the table as a bathtub when I opened the thread.

Most of the room is pretty nice. Dont' care for the chairs (looks like they're from the Jetson's Cartoons) - nor the gold ornate lookiing wall accessories I don't care for anything with ornate details.

I like the pop of blue color on the back wall & I would change to curtains with color.

Think I've died and gone to Heaven without any fluffy clouds. It's too shiney for my eyes! Give me some color and texture, please.

@lolakimono I thought this picture would be bigger and show more detail... Had I known, I'd have enlarged it myself... But nope, that's the table, not a tub...

I like this room but the chairs look uncomfortable .....switch them out to comfy upholstered chairs and I'm there.

I'm not a lacquer girl either, but I love this. Even tho it wouldn't fit my life style. I still like everything about it. It's so calm. I like to mix gold with white in home decor and fashion. But I would never have the nerve to use the lacquer table etc.

@DREAMON @ScenicMaine I agree. Although they're more comfortable than they look, the chairs are the one element in the room I'd have to replace. I just dont like them at all. They look like office furniture to me.

I like the room but would change out some of the accessories on the buffet.

I like the dining set, the white chair, & the chandelier.

@stevieb agree with your generalizations about this room. Surprisingly, I'd be happy here with the exception of the table and chairs with the thin stems as "legs".

@lolakimono I enjoy reading your observations. I've often wondered about your opinions of your posts. I so enjoy your contributions on both sides of the fence.

LOVE the chandelier and the mirror!

Too much contrast to the dining set: a Miss for me. It's got to go.

Hard to see, but I like the contrast of the dark chest with white marble top in the upper right corner. More of that contrast needed in this room.

I question the scale and design of the sconces flanking the mirror.

I find it to be a very witty, interesting room. Love the juxtaposition of the the heavy gilt and the luxe elements with the midcentury and modern aspects (table, chairs, blue print, etc.) Well done. Although not entirely my thing, I would find a dinner party in these environs to be great fun.

And imagine the glisten of candlelight reflecting off those perfectly lacquered walls...

No, not for me. Far too much white. The lone blue picture on the wall is just jarring with nothing to tie it to the rest of the room.

I don't like it at all.

@ladycos I tend to like lacquer treatments only when used sparingly, which isn't the case here... but, like you, for some reason, this room, overall and given that I'd change out some elements, works for me...You make a good point. It is very tranquil...

I like it but I would have to add a little more color.

All I can think about is the amount of work to keep everything white. In NYC - everything gets coated with a layer of gray dust that seems to seep through closed windows ... even thought I'm up ten floors from the street!

I do like the table - mine is similar shape/pedestal except in faux marble with black trim. (Chairs are black.)

My sister (who lives in the LI suburbs) had her kitchen floor redone with distressed white floorboards that look sort of similar.
