This is a lovely classic dining room in a New Orleans home. The hand painted mural on the four walls combines palms and tropical plants in muted greens and browns. The ruby Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a perfect match for the bronze tones in the room like the dramatic silk curtains.
Brown wood pieces have been limited to the French chairs and the sideboard. A pair of green Chinese gourd lamps on the sideboard is a pretty choice. Note the large seashell on the console.

I found this photo below on the interior designer/owner's own website. Note the difference above with Southern Living's professional photography/lighting and styling/staging - switching out the heavy dresser and squatty lamps for the sideboard and lamps above, and adding the seashell to the console. I think all of our rooms, even those of interior designers, can benefit from the styling and staging of a major magazine. Where do we sign up?

If you are in the market for silk curtains without the expense of custom made, I am a big fan of these and these silk dupioni curtains.
Looking for a large decorative clam shell like the one above? This one is really nice - I have it and it's very well priced - they are often priced at about $200.
And if you are looking for elegant gourd lamps that are very well priced (and even on sale now), I am a big fan of these by Suzanne Kasler.
I hope your week gets off to a great start.
