Beautiful and generous blogger Ally from over at From the Right Bank has issued another challenge for design bloggers! This one is fun and challenging, because we are choosing that one special room that perfectly demonstrates our personal design style! After looking through the many inspiration photos I have saved, here's the one that best defines my own style...
Do you recognize it? It's Cynthia Rowley's dining room (featured in Elle Decor! I love this dining room and here's why it reflects my personal style:
1. It is fresh and feminine without being frilly.
2. The space is at once timeless and modern, even with all the vintage pieces!
3. It is inspired by nature - I love the trees on the wall and the birds in the fabric.
4. Three words: Built in seating!
5. The mix of vases and flowers on the table keep it casual.
Yep, this is where we dine in my dreams!
Thanks, Ally for issuing this fun challenge! See all of the entries here!

It's just lovely. I love it for all the reasons you pointed out and I'm thinking if it's Cynthia Rowley's place, it could possibly come with people to cook and clean for you as well!
I love that wall. Great room. Stop by to see my choice.
I LITERALLY was between this pic and the one I eventually chose! I just love it!
Wasn't this a great little challenge?!

You have such great style. I remember when I first saw this room, I nearly died. It is utterly DREAMY! And what about her entire house? So fabulous. Like her. :) Thanks so much for participating in the challenge!
awesome! and where have I been that I have not seen it before?? Love the natural elements, just as you mentioned...leaves, flowers, birds...and the shape of those chairs!
Not sure how I missed Ms Rowley's space before now either! Love the chairs and that banquette behind that loooong table. Super cute!

Very beautiful! Love your comment about "built in seating"!!!
love the floral mix, the amazing table, and those ebony floors... fabulous space!
It is so gorgeous! love how feminine it feels.
I love this image. One of my favorite pairings is white dining chairs with a dark wood table.
It's beautiful! I had such a hard time deciding which one to do :) I think if I had a kitchen like that, I would enjoy cooking more too :) I'd never want to be away from it!
Oh, that's a good one! Pretty and fun!
