At a evening, we're waiting our friends. The table has kept quiet.

In this 1860s apartment in the 7th arrondissement in Paris, the dining room’s lacquered-oak table is by Christophe Delcourt, and the chairs are by Roche Bobois. Interior design by Klavs Rosenfalck.

I love this space -- it feels rustic yet chic and well-edited. No red-and-gold Provencal tablecloths and curtains and seat cushions, thank you! Not that those are entirely bad. They have their place -- in Provence.

Design by Mimmi O'Connell, the Italian-born, London-based interior designer known for her 'fusion' looks. She was one of the first to bring Chinese furniture to the UK in the 1970s, and a forerunner in mixing rustic, country, and antique Asian furniture in a modern way, pairing 200-year-old tables and chairs with linen upholstery and European art.

I wanted to share just a few more shots of the changes to the look of rooms in our house. Just a few more, I promise!

The major change to the dining area, is that I packed away ALL my antique pink roses china!

I've been thinking about doing it for a while now - I just wasn't sure if I really wanted to!

But they are still here - just waiting for the next time my taste changes. ;-)

I replaced them with another collection - you didn't think I would give up ALL my collections, did you?

This is a mish-mash of white and cream pottery, ceramic, and milk glass pieces - some vintage, some not. Just a bunch of tchotchkes, actually, but since they are all white or cream, I'm calling them a "collection"

We moved the console table that was against the wall into the entry way and added two mis-matched chairs. There's a new woven jute rug, and my son Patrick is going to help me hang curtains this weekend.

So that will do it...except... I want a round table and chairs and a new hanging light fixture... sigh, I guess I need to start haunting Craigslist again. LOL!

....like today. Cyclone Thane to reach Tamilnadu by friday morning.

Please do not post any graphical images on my stream.

I know nothing about this dining room except that (a) it exists in a luxury condo in "The Heights" (Brooklyn?), (b) it was designed by Coburn Architecture, and (c) I love it.

Hope everyone is having a lovely holiday season...

[Perhaps you can tell from my exif data that I had a very happy one!]

We do like food. We're not religious, but if there's one thing in our family that comes close to holiness--it's food. It's not the strickt restrictive kind of religion, it's the feast / joy / togetherness kind of religion. We almost never eat any meal alone, and often have friends for lunch or dinner. We seldomly have a fancy table (it distracts from the food!), but we do like a colourful table.

I love this dining table—it reminds me of John Reeves's 'Louis' tables—and it's so affordable! The Domino editors painted the Pier 1 piece (and its drop-in leaf) off-white to highlight the arabesques of its scalloped edges and cabriole legs. An elaborate crystal chandelier ups the fanciness—but not the bottom line.

Table: 60" x 42" x 30" "Scalloped" (painted), $399.95, Pier 1.

Chandelier: 26" x 30" "Snow White," $297, gallery84.com.

I love eating out of doors under the shade of a tree or parasol, food always tastes so much better somehow.

Hope you all had a good holiday with loved ones. This shot is of our table a year ago!

The dining room at the El Tovar surrounds you with vista windows of the Canyon outside, but it's the architectual details, the reflective glow off polished surfaces, and the rugged elegance it exudes, that fascinates me while I dine.

Menta e rosmarino

www.deezer.com/track/2185294

Cadono giù stalle - stelle

Lacrima (il) tramonto

Gocce di luce dagli occhi

Nella notte cieca

È qui che a casa mia ormai ritorno

C'incontreremo stasera

Menta e Rosmarino

Che ho preso a calci le notti

Per starti più vicino

Amor, d'amor sia l'amor perduto!!

I feel so lonely tonight

Se per farmi male ti amai

I feel so lonely tonight

Se per farmi vivo t'amai

Cadono giù stalle - stelle,

E una monetina,

I miei pensieri in farfalle dentro la mattina

È qui che a casa mia ormai ritorno.

I feel so lonely tonight

Se per farmi male ti amai

I feel so lonely tonight

Se per farmi vivo ti amai

Con l'anima in piena

Mi sgominai

Mi smemorai.

I feel so lonely tonight

Se per farmi male ti amai

I feel so lonely tonight

Se per farmi vivo ti amai

I feel so lonely tonight

Se per farmi male ti amai

I feel so lonely tonight

Se per farmi vivo ti amai

E t'amo ancora

All my bookshelves are full of books and there isn't any space in the house to add more – but I still keep buying more books so they end up on the dining table. Happily, there's still enough room for me to eat my meals but I need to get a bit more organised.
