Maison Epperson: Dining Room Progress

Everyday, Maison Epperson is looking more like a home than a warehouse. Hallelujia!

However, a lot of our stuff is still displaced and after a month of unpacking 52 million boxes (LOL), I realized that some of our excisting furniture and decor do not fit our new house anymore.

Progress has been slow particularly in our formal dining room. I feel that the only permanent fixture is our new copper pendant lights. I’m not sure about the rest of the furniture.

So far, this is how our dining room looks like:

Tom Dixon Copper Pendant Lights, MOs Design; sideboard, vintage; silver chaffing dishes, wedding gifts; brass coral fruit bowl, Rustan’s; dining table legs, thrifted; bench, stools and tempered glass top were gifts from friends way back (thank you KC Concepcion, Tim Yap & Maureen Disini woohoo!)

Some of the furniture are temporary. For now, we are using what we have and making them work in our space. Ideally, we want at least 6-8 chairs for our dining table. We also need a cool piece of  artwork on the wall (Tom is working on that) and I want to change the color of the vintage sideboard to white lacquer with brass cabinet pulls. I’m still thinking if I should put a rug or not. Let’s see.

What I do love about our dining area is the beautiful daylight that pours in throughout the day. Very, very light lang ang feeling. Where we used to live, it was always dark and we had to leave the lights on from morning till night time. In our new house, we only get to use the pendant lights at night. Big savings on electricity — YAY!

They say a house is a work in progress, that being said, excuse me while I work my butt off to make my dreams come true.
