Dining Room Inspiration Board

Okay, so I tried to create my very first inspiration board. I am not sure if this is how other bloggers do it, but this is the best I could do.  (Please click on the inspiration board to enlarge.)

 I could not get this chair from Ballard Designs to load onto the board for the life of me.  Anyway, I like this chair, but not sure what fabric.  I am thinking maybe a mustard/gold/yellow fabric of some sort.  I think the room needs a punch of color and I like yellow and gray together.

I realize I seem like a catalog whore, but this is what I look at all the time.  I can't help myself.

I like both the white finish and weathered finish for the table, I think either would look good. I would like this particular table because it can expand to seat 12 or condense down for 4. I love the flexibility of it.

The large mirror would be on the back wall to reflect the chandy and make the room appear to keep going.  I would like to keep the mirror simple and wide.  I am afraid of being too "fancy".

I would love to have a piece of art above the console table.  I have liked this Horchow painting for some time, the colors are vibrant and happy.

I like both sideboards and I like how sideboard2 mimics the lines in my front door.  I am not sure if anyone would even notice that, but I do.  I would display my white soup tureen bowls on top of the console cabinet.

I like both of these rugs. The animal print rug is much more affordable than the Thomas O'Brien rug, but of course I like the most expensive one best.  If anyone knows a knock-off for the O'Brien rug please let me know.  Also, do not look up the price of the O'Brien, you may have a heart attack!

I would love to hear any suggestions.

Thanks!
Amy
