I've been working on the dining room for a couple of years now and each piece has been added as I've been able to afford it, which makes for a long decorating process. This means that I have looked at this partially finished room a bazillion times over the past few years and am never sure if its coming together or if I like the things I've chosen for it.
While staring at it the other day, I almost decided to ditch my dining room drapes. I had them custom made a couple of years ago and loved them then, but as I looked at them I thought maybe it was time to move on. I thought the room was looking a little too country/granny/conservative for me and I was positive that the drapes were the culprit (ignore the chandy, its long gone).

Enter a bit of perfectly timed inspiration from some fellow bloggers to prove to me that yes, I am on the right track and one day when I'm finished this room will be fabulous.
Then I found these pillows from Etsy shop Oriental Tribe 11 via Elements of Style.
I've been looking for pillows for the chairs in front of my fireplace for a while.
I found this little vignette from Teryn on I Suwannee and it is pretty much the inspiration board that I neglected to put together for myself. Definitely captures the vibe I was trying to create in this space.

These pillows might just be the thing to make the whole room come together. Kinda traditional, kinda tribal, but cool and edgy all at the same time. I think this is gonna work. And I'm sticking with the drapes.
