[quote=EyeCandyOP][quote=Anonymous]I need inspiration for our dining room. There is one loooong wall with nothing on it. I feel like any nice art would be lost on the wall; a "gallery wall" is too messy; I don't want a mirror to watch myself eat....what to do? And are there any options for displaying nice china and such that don't look like Nana's house? Thanks! [/quote] I tend to like simpler dining rooms myself, so I understand where you're coming from on the gallery wall. If there is electricity on that wall, art plus two scones could work. Also, three pieces of large art, framed the same way, might look nice. Let's see what we find... Low sideboard with statement lamps?

Could have that built in? Maybe behind a very simple, glass door? [img]http://images.traditionalhome.mdpcdn.com/sites/traditionalhome.com/files/slide/102271725.jpg[/img] Without the gallery wall, of course [img]https://st.hzcdn.com/simgs/89710f0202bdff9c_4-0439/home-design.jpg[/img] This is a lot of look, but I'm more looking at the furniture placement on that back wall. If you want storage, but not the look of a traditional china cabinet, you could use two dressers to get that storage and put art above.
