Setting the Stage for Fine Dining - Design Ideas

Fine dining comes in all shapes, colors, materials, styles, locations, and styles!

Trust me, each image is filled with FINE design ideas

 that will make any gathering a FINE event.

The chandeliers , the table, the fireplace...too fine for words!

Love the bright, the rustic, the antique, mixed.

And the patent leather on the chairs is practical.

Thoughtful, creative displays makes guests feel special, welcomed, and mighty fine:

Fine ~ !

 Very fine elements; cheerfully, eclectically combined:

Location, location, location, with a glass garage door, 

and combined with a glass chandelier. 

Very fine indeed!

Simplicity, mixed materials and textures, and a bit of shine:

The pool, the golf course, the sun, the flowers, the drinks...yep, it's Fine.

Once again we have Location,

 along with plenty of rustic, romantic charm,

  and a view.

A sense of privacy, with the sun, the water, the plants --

 it feels like this spot was arranged for an escape 

with a selected, wonderful group of friends.

A pretty table setting always gets the family excited about dinner -- and grateful to you -- even if you still haven't anything in mind except the 12-Minute Special:  boiled spaghetti with warmed up (any kind of) sauce. Put out a chunk of fine  Parmigiana-Reggiano cheese, chop up a head of  Romaine, add some really good salad dressing, and you are done. Make sure the adults have a nice glass of wine. Light the  candles, stick the breadsticks into  a rustic jar in the middle of the table ...that's FINE dining, folks.




Have a great day!

Well-Designed, with Comfort in Mind

Comfort in a Cottage

Comfort while savoring and sharing at a wonderful dinner party

Comfort in "Slutty Brownies" (recipe)

Comfort in being enveloped in the luxurious softness and calm of this room with a  view:

Comfort relaxing by the gorgeous pool after a good swim, 

sunning judiciously with sunscreen and umbrella shade.

Comfy Bedroom Oasis

Question:  Is this reality or just for show?

That beautiful teak and cane chaise looks tempting.

 But if I want to stretch out and relax, I probably 

would not pick the bathroom as the place to do that.

Design is surely about comfort and practicality 

in addition to the many aspects of Lifestyle that it covers.

Have a great day!!!!!
