Dining rooms in all flavors

Some dining room love for you guys today! Anybody else on the east coast feel that shake yesterday? I'm right outside DC so it was pretty scary here!

I'm back from Europe - with a book giveaway!!

Hi everyone! I'm so excited to be able to post on a regular basis again! The trip was absolutely amazing and I promise to share pictures of my boyfriend and my 9 week journey - but first I have to do some photo organizing. I thought I'd welcome everyone back with a book giveaway, Mark Montano's "Big-Ass Book of Home Decor." You can see samples of the book in my review post from May. To enter the giveaway just leave a comment telling me your favorite place (city, country, etc.) you've ever traveled, and why if you wish. Or you can email me your favorite place. The giveaway will be closed next Tuesday at 12am EST. Good luck!

And now, to warm up a bit - I thought I'd just publish some good old Office Furniture-style eye-candy. It's great to be back!

A gorgeous potpourri of rooms from Home-Designing

Home-Designing.com has just released an e-book and were kind enough to mention Office Furniture and provide me with a copy. I thought I'd share with you my favorite images from the ebook. What do you think?

A clean and simple workspace with plenty of surface space is really important for me.

The bed is a little modern for me, but I still love this room

Could you live with this wallpaper?

Spring clearing - the dining room (lots of dining eye candy too!)

This room will probably be one of the easier rooms in your home. With the uprising of eat-in-kitchens many of us find our dining rooms not used. Save this room for a day when you don't have a lot of time or pair it with another task.

• Dust down the ceiling and corners
Consider if the walls in your home need to be washed. Check here for information on how to clean different wall surfaces. Don't forget air vents and switch plates.

• Dust and clean all wall art. Be careful when cleaning framed art and photographs. Never spray cleaner or water onto the frame. The liquid can seep behind the glass and damage the pictures. Instead lightly wet a clean cloth to wipe the frame and glass.

• Clean the Ceiling Fan.You know what's worse than a fly in your soup, a large chunk of dust from your ceiling fan in your soup. Dust the fan and fan blades. You may need to use a gentle cleanser like Murphy’s Oil Soap mixed with water and a cleaning cloth. Take down light fixtures and gently wash and dry them before replacing.

• Take down draperies and curtains to wash or have cleaned according to the directions. Dust down any blinds and other window treatments. Dust down and wash window sills and corners. Wash the inside and outsides of windows. Take down and rinse off screens, before replacing.

• Wash down the dining table, chairs, and any other furniture thoroughly. If you have wood furniture that needs to be oiled or waxed, do this now. If your chairs have an upholstered seat, spot clean the seats.

• Clean the carpet and rugs. You can choose to use a carpet professional, rent a cleaning machine, or vacuum and spot-treat according to soil level.

What You Need:

Dust mop (preferably with a long handle)
Step-ladder
Cleaning cloths
Small bucket with handle
Sponges
Vacuum with attachment
Gentle cleanser
Rug shampoo machine with upholstery attachment (optional)
Spot remover for upholstery or carpets (optional)

Domino Subscribers - Here are your options

Follow this link to a list of CondeNast Magazines. Once you pick a magazine call them up and tell them you're a Domino subscriber. If you don't call and select a magazine, you will automatically receive Architectural Digest. I'm not sure what I'm going to opt for -- Cookie has great homes, but I'm without offspring, maybe Vogue or Vanity Fair? Thoughts?

Some Domino love for you

Never fails to disappoint: Canadian House and Home

Oh Canadian House and Home, how I wish a year subscription shipped to the states weren't so pricey. I often argue with myself though that it would be worth it. I often check them out at the bookstore but it's just not the same as having it in my home, and the magazine is consistently gorgeous.
