This beautiful dining room belongs to the always-inspiring Julie Blanner. This is also a great example of how you can use a horizontal rectangular shape for the mouldings, rather than just vertical. I love how Becki Owens mixed traditional and contemporary elements in this space. I like how she left out the chair rail and achieved a slightly more modern look without losing the elegant effect. More beautiful picture frame molding inspiration via Caitlin Wilson. It’s just a true, bright, clean white–which is exactly what we wanted! It changes very little during the day as sunlight moves through the room. It doesn’t come off as too cold or too yellow. I was also inspired by Sonja, of JS Home Design (via Instagram), who has picture frame molding installed throughout her beautiful Vancouver BC home.īy the way, both Suburban Bees and JS Home Design also used Benjamin Moore Simply White in their spaces. Isn’t this gorgeous? I love that light fixture! The beautiful mouldings are from Metrie. I knew this was the look I wanted for our home.

So I went in search of inspiration on Pinterest … But I had to be honest with myself, and board and batten just wouldn’t work with the style of our home. I do plan to hang the botanical prints which were in this space before, but I think I’ll put them in the dining room.Įven before we started painting, I knew I wanted some kind of mill work or trim on the walls, and that hasn’t changed.

And guess what–we did it! And I love it. But I’m not ready to stop here, even though I do like the idea of transitioning to a pared-down, cleaner design. When I shared my post on Choosing the Perfect White Paint, we were preparing to paint our living room, entryway and dining room walls in Simply White by Benjamin Moore.
