This 'n That Thursdays: Menagerie Dining Room Style Board

(Click on image to enlarge)

It has been a while since I have done an interior design style board, but a unique dining room buffet from Anthropologie recently got my attention and inspired me to design a room around it.  Although the rustic, natural wood Handcarved Menagerie Buffet recently sold out, I was quite taken with the various animal motifs carved into each door front.  Here is the style board for a small dining room that came together quickly after I saw this handsome piece of furniture:

Clockwise from top left: CB2 Pony Leather Chair; Wisteria Arana Wood Dining Table; Grandin Road Solange Mirror; Braided Chindi 8' Round Rug; Hudson & Vine 28" Rattan Oval Tray; Port 68 Cooper Nutmeg Brown Buffet Table Lamps; Anthropologie Handcarved Menagerie Buffet (no longer available); Wisteria The Americas Wall Pottery (four different animal designs); Anthropologie Harvest Moon Wallpaper in Black Motif.

I envision wood flooring in this room similar to that seen under the buffet.  And I think the pale blue background color of the style board is a good wall color choice for this otherwise mostly neutral setting because it seems to bring out the colors in the round rug and mirror.  The round motif is enhanced by the animal plates (the plates also emphasize the animal theme) as well as the wall covering, which I would use to cover just one wall, perhaps the one opposite from the buffet.

That buffet is so gorgeous I am not surprised that it sold out.  Perhaps the folks at Anthropologie will bring it back so that more people will have the opportunity to purchase one.  There is also a Handcarved Menagerie Dining Table ($3298) and Dining Chairs ($898 each in four different designs) available for anyone who is particularly enchanted with this style!
