Ageless Dining Area

A 1960s light fixture found on eBay (see enlarged image) (www.ebay.com) keeps the dining area of this Venice, California bungalow from feeling fussy. Wallpaper with a chinoiserie pattern is framed with black molding and hung against a more somber gray wall. Louis XV reproduction chairs echo the baroque mood, but are upholstered in black faux-ostrich hide for a contemporary feel. The Burke tulip table adds lightness to the mix.
