Soft and elegant?
Or smooth and sultry?
Which do you like better? And isn’t it amazing how a good chandelier can look so beautiful in two completely different rooms?

Another great post! Love the second room – smooth and sultry!
I love the soft and elegant!
I vote whole heartly for the first one! But both are nice.
Love the second room, but I’d do something different with the drapes- and I love the ceiling with its metallic sheen. I am so planning on doing that one day!
Both rooms are great, but I love the first one. I love bright, sun-filled rooms.
I love the second. My home is too open to do one dark room, but I would love it.
Soft & elegant is for me! How lovely… I'm dreaming of a holiday meal in that room right now : )
Perfection.
Lovely blog!!!

I like the soft and elegant room!
Smooth and Sultry…. hands down! Obsessed.
neither one is really my style but, oh how I want that chandelier!
If I had to pick……. smooth and sultry. But I would probably take some decor from the first room to place in the second, just to break up the “Return-to-OZ”-emerald vases and candlesticks.
Definitely the soft and elegant for me, but it’s been interesting to see everyone else’s comments!
It’s so amazing how paint (and a few fabulous accessories of course) can totally transform a space!
soft and elegant for sure.
love the second one, so I’m going to have to go with smooth and sultry.
I’m normally a soft and elegant kinda girl, but I’m loving the smooth and sultry.
Love those jade green jars – gorgeous!
I vote for the first room, smooth and sultry!
ooh! i don’t know!
i’ll take one of both. and the kitchen below while your at it.
Can I mix the two together somehow?? I love the ceiling in the second, but love the light and neutrals in the first, and I’d add the beautiful pops of deep turquoise in the second photo to the first! =)
Amazing how a room can change so much with colour choice…I love the soft and elegant!
Very cool post, especially for someone like me who has an obsession with chandeliers.
I personally like the first room better – it is in my ‘favorites’ file. I love the combination of the seagrass and the crystal chandelier.
I do like a dark, rich dining room (in pictures, not for myself) – and I think the crystal would look especially amazing in this room at night!
Just found your blog through some random blog clicking and I love it. I’ve been captivated reading old posts, and am up far past my bed time. I’m moving into a new home in 2 weeks and am bursting with energy to try some of your wonderful ideas! :-)
Wow it’s amazing to see what a difference color choice does for the vibe of a room. I totally didn’t think it was the same room at first.
I love the look Mary went with in each room.
i love the first picture the best! but that’s because sometimes i’m afraid to step out of the box, and the second one seems more trendy or something? i like to stick more classical.
i’m definitely a soft and elegant kind of gal. but i think a part of me wants to be smooth and sultry! when josh graduates i am hiring you! seriously.
Soft and Elegant.. must be an “old” picture of the dining room . I have recorded Mary’s house when it appeared on Homes Across America.. Beleive it or not, it’s the only episode I’ve kept all these years. I love her pink house, her style.
Soft and elegant. I teals and turquoises are my favorite colors, but there is something “office-y” about the second one. The first makes me want to sit down to a sprightly brunch with my girlfriends.
