dining room

By Jen
Red or Blue?

We have a formal dining room that has a chair rail and moldings, tray ceiling and wainscoting.  The big debate now is whether to go with a deep red dining room or a dark blue one.  I originally had my heart set on a red one and then I saw some pictures and fell in love with a deep blue! 

 So we're going to go with newburyport blue from Benjamin Moore HC-155.   Pic1: courtesy of decorati access

Hampton Bay Aged Iron Wall Lantern Y37029-151 We also received our shipment with the ceiling fan and the closet lights.  The closet lights we got for $8 each!  They have 2 bulbs so they'll give plenty of light.  In order to get them so cheap, we had to be flexible on the color.  They're "Copper Revival" which is actually a little more copper penny colored than...
