Nature Themed Dining Room Makeover

Color Splash with David Bromstad

David: I am on my way to Lydia and Eddy and the only information I have is that
its nature inspired sounds nice, nature.

That’s quite the little diddy.

Lydia: Hi.

David: Hi

Lydia: Hi David.

David: How are you?

Eddy: So this is it.

David: Very cool so its’ like a family room.

Lydia: We wanted to make this place into a dining room because when we have
dinners and stuff we end up standing around the Island and sitting over
here so I figured this would be a good way to make this into a new room.

David: Absolutely so really dining and eating and here on the table and
socializing with your families is very important it’s a part of your life.

Eddy: Right.

Lydia: And it comes with a big family.

Eddy: When they come over it’s about 10 to 12 people.

David: Table wise do you want expandable or you just want one massive table
because the room can handle it.

Lydia: Yeah.

David: The room can handle a good 8 foot table.

Lydia: But we’re definitely thinking 12-seater.

David: Alright let’s see.

Lydia: This is our inspiration and the colors.

David: Oh the actual box is your inspiration.

Lydia: That’s for starters we have some things inside but we’ve kind of like these
blues and these greens for the paint possibly.

David: I love it.

Eddy: I like the darker colors.

David: Okay.

Eddy: Like these chocolate colors.

David: Oh.

Lydia: I’m metal smith and I would like to…

David: You are, really.

Lydia: But I like maybe another shelf here just put my artwork.

David: Nice.

Eddy: Her art is really great.

David: This is definitely unique makeover. It’s kind of the first time that I’ve
taken a living room or a family room and change it into a dining room and
when you’re designing a dining room be conscious of your space a lot of
people find it an amazing table and they bring it at home and it’s
enormous.

Lydia: Oh my God.

Eddy: Oh my gosh I love it, I love it. Look at the leaves.

David: IT was one of your favorite shapes.

Lydia: Oh I love it. I love colors.

David: You really wanted to bring the outside in and literally we brought the
outside in but not overwhelmingly.

Lydia: The floor is beautiful.

David: Well this is your floor and we just made it look more beautiful.

Lydia: And everybody can fit.

David: Exactly.

Eddy: 12 seats.

David: You guys were thinking of 10, we gave you 12 because your growing.

Lydia: This is great.

David: If you ever want to shrink it down. If you’re having a smaller party and
you want to feel like 4 people at a huge table can shrink them down. They
just go in and out so easily. Everyone did such a great job Ian and Danielle
worked so hard on the fire place. She tiled and painted and he built. That’s
fantastic.

Eddy: Wow.

David: It’s is sparkly. We have a lot of contemporary design going with that
sparkle and then we have that great piece of driftwood and we built shells
specifically for all of your artwork.

Eddy: Wow.

Lydia: I can’t believe it all fits.

David: I can’t believe whether you had so much and you guys got 2 pieces of
artwork. I wanted to do something very abstract but also kind of
representing rain or grass or something but not going literal with it.

Lydia: Yes.

David: You have the buffet over here but also gave you a bar over there. I’m sure
you guys have like trays and trays of food that you need to put some place
right.

Lydia: This is just wonderful.

David: Let’s talk about the chandelier. Isn’t it cool?

Lydia: It is’ really cool it’s so modern.

David: It is it’s modern, it’s called the Edison chandelier because it’s so simple
it’s like back to the basics of light bulbs but because there’s so many of
them it adds a very modern feel.

Claire made these fantastic slit cover. So simple.

Lydia: They’re beautiful.

David: If you ever want to make red ones for Christmas or anything like that it’s
so easy.

Lydia: Wow thanks Claire.

David: And the blue color is fantastic. You guys show this because it’s calming
and relaxing and look what it does to your cabinets it looks so great. No
more yellow.

Lydia: It looks so much better.

Eddy: It’s like you brought nature into this room and this feels so warm and
calming I love it.
