The amber-glass chandelier is the star of this dining room and is functional as well as eye-catching. Replacing the plain, white back door with a striking, dark Mahogany one adds character.

The wainscoting detail extends from the dining room into the kitchen for a cohesive look.

The interior of the built-in bookcase was painted blue which made it pop.

Overusing white can make the room virtually disappear. Not having many architectural details in the space adds to the monotony.
