dramatic august dining

The drama of the black with the straight edges of the grey back chairs and long bench on the right allows for a comfortable dinner but not quite comfortable enough to sit at the table being awkward. Either dinner is over, or you go to another room for games or other sorts of entertainment.

Notice the portrait? It is a girl on a swing, but too discreet to draw the eyes in for a quick glance. You have to look at it until you decide it's not a flower or branch of any kind; but a youthful time for fun.

The cat-walk/theatre-like chandelier above the table is equipped with light colored candles rather than the traditional bulb. Though underneath, they are electronically lighted to give off more illumination. Either way, this room is very intriguing. Maybe a bit too sharp for my taste, but I love the dramatic colors: black wall, grey chairs, teal center-piece, lavender hydrangeas, and white candles.
