Like so many, I love Thanksgiving.  So many wonderful things come together — decorating, family, food! — on one glorious, indulgent day.  I’ve designed quite a few dining rooms for clients throughout the years and it’s always exciting to see these spaces come to life on Thanksgiving.  Décor isn’t the reason for the season, but sharing beauty and joy with loved ones is.

Eclectic, tailored and dramatic is just the right vibe in a dining room.

For me, design is about expression.  The dining spaces below are in Maryland, DC, New York and Arizona respectively.  Each is a signature of a particular home, lifestyle and client.

Details are a key part of the magic when entertaining for the holidays and year-round.

Sometimes simplicity is all the drama a space needs.  Traditional in Virginia and modern in Florida.

The dining room below is one of my favorites.  The sophisticated color scheme creates a room that sings.

 Happy Thanksgiving from Huntley & Co.

And a special thanks to our clients who make these images possible and our work lives so rich.
