How to Create A Maine Cottage Dining Room

When the folks at Maine Cottage asked me to put together a room using their furnishings and accessories, I began the room's concept  with a COLOR SCHEME.  Imagine that!  You knew I'd start with that, didn't you? At the Maine Cottage website, you can shop by color, by room, or even by fit (depending on your size!).  I decided on a dark backdrop to anchor the fun colors of Maine Cottage:Benjamin Moore Van Deusen Blue.

I wanted to create a dining room with Maine Cottage furniture to show my readers how delightful a colorful dining room can be.   Who says dining rooms have to be all stained wood?  Certainly not me.  At Maine Cottage, they create handmade, cottage style wood painted and upholstered furniture well-suited for coastal living – but you don't have to live on the coast to appreciate the fresh look their furniture can bring to any home.  I started with the warm and casual Barn Wood Table:

You know how I love to mix dining room chairs to create an interesting and inviting table.  First, I chose a pair of  Jill Dining Room chairs in China Blue Hotty Dotty fabric for the ends of the table.  Maine Cottage has a great fabric selection so that the chairs you choose look custom!

Then I chose some painted wood chairs.  Maine Cottage has many styles to choose from, and I chose a handful of Easton dining chairs in Marine.  This color is really similar to the paint color I chose for the walls of the room.

One more major piece for my dining room – a sideboard with lots of storage for dishes and table linens.  I chose Maine Cottage's Large Island Buffet in Sun.  This pop of color is going to be fabulous against the dark blue paint color on the wall.  I grabbed a Big Round Bay Mirror in the same color to top the buffet, too.

Ok, now a pair of Gertie wood lamps to tie in with the table, some fresh art, and a custom-sized Waypoint wool rug finishes off my vision of a fun and inviting Maine Cottage dining room.

The thing I love about Maine Cottage is that you can choose from so many different colors to create a room in your favorite color combinations.  So here's the Dining Room Inspiration Board incorporating all the items I chose for the room:
