The dining room next to the kitchen features a long wall of windows letting in tons of natural light. The unobstructed water views were greatly improved when the cottage was lifted five feet to accommodate the new basement. The farmhouse table and the light fixture are both finished in the same sandy wood tones and work together to bring warmth, balance, and texture. Adding wicker armchairs to either end of the table added more seating and they can be pulled into the living room for extra seating when needed.
▼ A small pine table got a new look with a fresh coat of pale yellow paint. Above the table a whimsical map of Prince Edward Island was a lucky fun find.
DESIGN TIP
Forage for flowers. The blooms on the dining table are yellow mustard seed, weeds picked off the lawn. They feel right at home with their lacy delicate flowers. Be on the look out for wild lupines, daisies, buttercups, Queen Anne’s lace or fern leaves to be plucked from the side of the road.
