I’ve always been an Home & Garden Television (HGTV) and Food Network junkie. Some of the shows on those networks entrance me and I can’t break away. One of my favorite designers on HGTV is Candice Olsen from “Divine Design.” I’ve always said that if I ever win the lottery, I’m flying Candice, Chico and the entire crew down from Canada to decorate my house.
Anyhoo, we’re in the process of lining up some painting projects for our house, including our dining room. The dining room features wallpaper from when we purchased the house and while I’ve been able to live with it, it’s time to update. So, I started thinking about potential colors and I kept returning to robin’s egg blue. I love that color and I think combined with a crisp white trim, it could make for a gorgeous room. Then, in looking for inspiration online, I thought, “What would Candice do?” I came across a photo of a dining room make-over she performed and fell in love with it (see image above). The color scheme, the fabrics, the lighting – classic Candice.
So, any other HGTV junkies out there? What’s your favorite program?

That is a gorgeous dining room! We are doing two other rooms in our new house in light blue (our bedroom and the nursery!!!), so we're thinking navy for the dining room. I'm struggling to find pictures of inspiration rooms in navy, so if you have any saved in your files, I'd love to see them!!
Beautiful dining room.Love the color blue. Candice Olsen is one of my favorites.
Me like-ee the Food Network too...and glad to hear you got the wreath up...
