Rocklin Project: Dining Room Photo Tour

August 8, 2018

OUR RECENT EDESIGN PROJECT WAS IN ROCKLIN, CA. OUR CLIENT WANTED TO UPDATE HER HOME AND ENLISTED US TO HELP WITH THE FURNITURE AND FINISHING TOUCHES IN SEVERAL SPACES. TODAY, WE ARE SHARING THE DINING ROOM PHOTO TOUR!

This is not a sponsored post but some links may contain Affiliate Links. If you make a purchase through one of my links (at no additional cost to you), I may earn a small commission. Thank you so much for your support!

Our client's style is transitional and she already had some great pieces to work with. She wanted the space to feel approachable and usable, while still being able to make the room special for holidays.

The concept for this space focused on a palette of blues, greys & brass accents. We kept the original dining table with its 6 chairs and the buffet in the design.

We softened the space with a coat of paint, which made the room feel bigger and brighter. The old rug was replaced with a more neutral option. Two new chairs were added at the ends to make the table feel more grand.

Our client wanted an overhead fixture that made a statement and she choose one of my favorites from West Elm. This fixture comes in different finishes too!

On the back wall we used two of the same art pieces, rotating one to make a bigger impact when you walk in.

We had some fun with the curtains, choosing one with a foil-printed motif and tassels for extra texture.

We flanked the cased opening with two snake plants to add a pop of color and freshness.

For the buffet styling, we hung a round mirror to help bounce the light from the windows around the room. My client splurged on these amazing marble lamps and huge planter and it makes all the difference!

Im obsessed with these candlesticks from Williams Sonoma! The brass finish adds warmth, while the curves add tons of movement and interest. 

WE WILL BE SHARING THE ROCKLIN PROJECT MASTER BEDROOM PHOTO TOUR NEXT SO KEEP CHECKING BACK!

How to Bring the Ralph Lauren Aesthetic Home With Cozy Flannel

When I think of fall, I think of falling leaves, warm caramel apple cider (or pumpkin spice for my coffee-drinking husband), apple cider donuts, pumpkins, and, of course, flannel. Like every good cozy fall read, flannel makes us feel safe and snug. This surprisingly versatile material works in most interior spaces, from traditional to modern.

The 2026 Home Decor Trend That Makes Your Home Feel More Personal
Interiors

In 2026, homes are becoming less about matching sets and more about creating a lived-in, collected-over-time style. Think Nancy Meyer’s film settings in Something’s Gotta Give, Father of the Bride, and The Holiday. Homes that emphasize warmth, personality, and feel like they are actually lived in. We are stepping away from minimal interiors in favor of natural materials like full-grain leather, hardwoods, and natural stone that develop a beautiful patina over time.

There’s something so inviting about decorating an entryway for fall. It’s the first little glimpse of your home, and I love the idea of creating a space that feels warm, collected, and seasonal without going overboard on traditional fall décor. This fall entryway does exactly that with rich earthy tones, layered textures, and a beautiful autumn wreath that brings the entire space to life.

How to Make an Awkward Entryway Feel Beautiful and Intentional

Not every home features a grand foyer. In fact, many entryways have angled ceilings, narrow walls, or unique architectural details that can seem more challenging than inspiring. However, I have discovered that these "awkward" spaces often hold the most potential.
