Something's Gotta Give: Dining Room

Let's take a look at the 

Something's Gotta Give Dining Room, 

shall we?

Compared to the other cavernous rooms in The Beach House

{does anyone have a bedroom that size?}, 

the dining room is positively teensy. 

Small but perfectly formed.

To make the most of the space, the dresser has been built back into the wall, creating the look of a large piece of furniture without taking up inches.

I love the fact that the director, Nancy Meyer, insisted that this house should be so user-friendly. The rooms all flow incredibly easily into one another.

And when I say house, I mean, of course, film set. 

It's hard to believe that this is all a mock-up, isn't it?

Look how beautifully the table is dressed. 

Even for a fairly informal dinner. 

Those candlesticks in the centre are a gorgeous touch.

Speaking of dressing tables gorgeously, the winner of the New House Textiles tablecloth is Lizzie Bradbury. 

{Lovely Lizzie, I'll be emailing you in two shakes of a bee's knee.}

And so, we come to the end of our 

Something's Gotta Give House tour. 

But, never fear.....

On Wednesday, I'll be taking a closer look at how you can make this look work for YOU.

{Yes, even on a smaller scale!}
