You like it better? Can you imagine spending any time on those chairs? Ouch! I thought the previous room was beautiful overall. I like floral — loved the rug and curtains.
The old family dining room is ghastly.
Yes, I liked it better than the floral. The floral seemed dated, I would say it looked 80’s but was done in the 90’s...so.
The one Michelle has done looks more up-to-date and I prefer jewel tones, so I tend to favor it. The colors are really nice.
The fabric on the chairs in the new room is absolutely beautiful, but I agree the chairs don’t look very comfortable and the table and chairs are a bit stark.
Michelle seems to prefer modern and I have just never cared much for the modern look. Straight lines and abstract just doesn’t move me.
Part of what I hate in the family dining is that much looks like it doesn’t belong, it doesn’t flow. It’s herky-jerky and stops the eye to get in your face here and there. The furniture isn’t bad, I like it pretty well.
I think that if I had a chance to update the state dining room I would probably try and take it back to how it was originally decorated. The family room should be decorated to their tastes, so if that’s what they like...
