Close-up: Chicago Dining Rooms

After spending more time than usual last week gathered around the table enjoying a meal and the company, we thought today might be the perfect opportunity to take a look at ten fantastically varied examples of dining areas from our House Tours on AT: Chicago.

Dana, your place is lovely. I'm a fan of white and have it on all my walls. I like the way your artwork pops off the wall. simple but dramatic! Can you tell me where you found that piece?

Andreas (if you are reading this), I am curious to know how the porch paint is holding up with the foot traffic? We are thinking about painting our wood floors as well instead of staining them (which takes forever).

I notice that the woodgrains still show through the porch paint which is excellent. What brand did you use? how many coats? Did you have to sand the floors before painting or just paint right on the floor?

could AT compile from their archive photographs of small computer nooks? i like the one in zoka's house tour.. small and yet clearly still useful. its my personal #1 problem - can't sacrifice my desk as my laptop's not good enough for photo processing; but i want it to look better.

(even though, coughcough it was featured in desks in at tech! :D )

Zoka, I really love that red chair you have at the end. Would you be able to tell me what it is?

A.
The red chair you are asking about; I grew up in one of those in the early seventies. In Norwegian it is called "Tripp Trapp Stol".
In other words "step stair chair" or something...
You can try this link for more info http://www.stokkeusa.com/tripptrapp.htm

BTW
I really liked the red chair by the window in Dan & Amanda's home. Is it comfy?
