Young House Love » Mood Boards » Mood Board Making: En Fuego

| By Sherry Petersik | July 21, 2011 | 148 Comments

Mood Board Making: En Fuego

I was inspired by a chipper yellow table runner and a fiery pendant light to make a warm-blooded dining room mood board just for fun. Whoop, here it is:

Warm Dining Room Mb

1. The wall color could be a soft olive-khaki tone, like the stripe in the background of the mood board (try Benjamin Moore’s Limestone 513) with browns, oranges, deeper olives, pops of yellow, and some crisp white in the furnishings/accessories. Maybe even a smidge of navy if you’re into that sort of thing. And now that I see that stripe of olive-khaki, big wide horizontal tone-on-tone stripes might be pretty fun for the walls if you’re feeling feisty (try Benjamin Moore’s Limestone 513 and Flowering Herbs 514).

2. These Target chairs are $70 a pop, and the Ikea table is under $300 (but you could always find something on craigslist and refinish it for even less if that’s your jam).

3. This Stacy Garcia pendant (along with the fun chevron runner) were the inspiration for this entire board. Isn’t the geometric kinda Moroccan-ish pattern fun? It’s down from $225 to $149 with free shipping for anyone interested. I wonder if you could search for a coupon code to take it down even further.

4. Yellow mug = happy life forever. At least that’s a theory I’m working on. Who can sip from this guy and not smile? He’s even called the beam mug.

5. Klimt has always been a favorite of mine. I have another theory that his painting called The Kiss is akin to the movie Titanic (it makes all the ladies swoon). And this lesser known garden print is painterly and soft – which makes it a nice counterpart to the graphic pops of pattern in the chevron runner and the geometric pendant. I also love that it has olive, orange, white, and even a dash of navy. Holla.

6. This giant braided jute rug from Overstock would bring in some natural texture to balance the graphic patterns and sleek dining table (it’s $230 for an 8 x 10 and has tons of 5 star ratings).

7. These bright little appetizer trays ($2.95 each) would be so charming mixed in with crisp white china, a few of those yellow mugs, and the sunny chevron runner.

8. Here’s that chevron runner (from etsy for $15) that started it all (well, I guess he’s in cahoots with the pendant, who also sparked this board). Cute, no?

Anyone out there doing some dining room makeover-ing? Or sipping from a happy yellow mug? Either way, it sounds like a good time.

Psst- See 150+ other mood boards (and sort them by room or color) here. Oh and we just heard the new 376 page (!) Ikea catalog is out here.

    oh my, if the colors in the wood were lighter, I’d think you made this just for me LOL! I have woven seat chairs just like that, and have been toying with adding orange or yellow to our kitchen/eat in for pops of color! I love it!

    Question: I have beige in our living (right next to and open to our eat-in) but think I could easily tie the yellow and then maybe a burgandy or deep olive into that room. Then the odd room is our former office/now playroom. It’s aqua – but I do love aqua with both yellow and orange. Do you think it could work in there right next to much more traditional rooms that are more muted in color if I add pops of the colors in similar tones (the oranges and yellows, I mean)?

      Oh yes, I think all those colors can work together if you visually link the adjoined spaces with a dash of the other room’s color. You know, like a cheerful aqua vase on the dining room table if you see the office/playroom in the background? Hope it helps!

      I just went looking at all your inspiration rooms/mood boards for any that have our cab color. I’m noticing most of yours feature white, choc brown or painted (colors) furniture. I keep feeling like so many colors will clash with the warm, yellow-orange of the cabs. So confused (but only because you have so much good stuff to go through!).

    • Avatar for YoungHouseLoveYoungHouseLove says

      July 21, 2011 at 2:52 pm

      I would look for boards and rooms with yellow and orange tones (like the one today) because I bet your yellow-orange cabs would look pretty with an orange pendant or a yellow runner and even with cooler khaki green walls to temper things! Maybe even a pop of navy. Just squint at rooms and boards to look for similar tones (even if they’re fabric and not wood, etc). Good luck!

    This looks almost exactly like our living room and dining room color-it’s called olive grey. We have the same ikea dining table, but it was in their as is section (small barely noticeable dent in 1 corner -$199!!)) and is in the birch finish. I love the colors in this mood board, and I always had the intention of making the table dark when we bought it. Any idea if we can stain it? And how would we do that?
    Thanks!

      If the table is veneer or hardwood you should be able to sand and restain it. Here’s a tutorial for ya: https://www.younghouselove.com/2010/03/nursery-progress-refinishing-a-veneer-dresser/

      If it’s laminate, you might have a hard time (since it’s not easily refinished with any reliable durability) but maybe you could prime and paint the legs chocolate brown and recover the top with chocolate brown oilcloth? Might looks sort of cool and leather-ish (and be very durable and wipe-able).

      I have a piece of furniture from IKEA in the birch (it’s a tv stand)…..I sanded it down (even though it was kinda like particle board underneath) and stained it…..it didn’t come out perfect, but it has a very cool finish to it now. Sort of rustic and imperfect. I love it! Just try not to sand too much because there is only a very thin piece of wood veneer on the IKEA furniture…..good luck!

    We recently moved in to our first house (oh my, if you counted up how many times I say that in comments, you’re going to kill me) and our sqaure dining table really didn’t work in the eat in kitchen area (no formal dining room) because it somewhat blocked the doorwall out to the deck. I found a FANTASTIC dining room table for $75 on Craigslist (black and study and lovely with an extra leaf and with only very minimal wear) and bought some cheapo windsor style chairs to go with it (I didn’t want to wait it out Craigslisting). Now we just need some sort of china catbinet/hutch/sideboard to store our nice dishes/dining table stuff in! Not sure if we want to try to Craiglist something and rehab it or if I want to try and build something (ala Ana White).

    You know there are times when a post doesn’t grab me in the way other ones do-and today, though I like the mood boards, I might have skimmed over it. But since it happened to be our paint color, and I happened to have the exact table but need to stain it, it became completely relevant to me. Sometimes a simple light fixture switch might be old hat to one person, but to someone else they may have never done it before and it’s just what they need. I think that what makes your blog so good-there is something for everyone! The topics can’t possibly appeal to every reader every time, and that’s fine.

But this is perfect and relates to the rest of my imaginary decor very well. If Emily Henderson had to name my style it would be something like “morroccan beach house” and this fits right in!

    I’m a huge dork with a slight “secrets from a stylist” obsession.

    OMG!I love this pendant! I have already been planning on painting our dinning room chocolate brown but yesterday started dreaming of orange as an accent color and this would be perfect!

      We are slow with projects-ha! I’ve had the paint color picked out for months but sill have to remove the wallpaper and the “unique” antique chandelier! But yes, I’ll let you know when we start so you can come check it out. Rob is also planning on building wainscoting shadowboxes under the chair rail.

      and PS- I have the yellow chevron fabric (from fabric.com) for our kitchen curtains! So I am ALL over this mood board :)

    I was just thinking to myself, hmmm, I wonder what the Youngsters are up to because your last few posts have clearly been fillers. Now, after reading the comments, I’m rather appalled by some of your readers! Good lord, people, have some patience!

      I agree about the patience part.. and I have no doubt that that setting up that gallery John posted about yesterday took a *ton* of work!

    I am currently drinking my coffee out of a bright yellow mug. Yes, I agree it equals happiness! Especially since I bought it on super sale. It is a cheap thrill, and the best little clearance mug.

    How I wish we had a dining room :( We have a little “nook” in our 1950 ranch that literally is 8′ x about 5′ from where the chair that goes into our open floorplan living room is. Not to mention it’s got a built-in on the left “wall” and a door on the right one. I’d kill to be able to actually decorate it…but it’s such a mishmash of ….I don’t even know what to call it!!

    The moodboard looks great!

    I loved the runner so much I bought it! Glad you had it on your site today :) I have a thing for chevron, and even though I could make it myself I thought it was worth the 15 bones.

    That exact Klimt print hung in my parent’s breakfast room while I was growing up. You’ve pretty much captured my childhood in your mood board (with a much needed contemporary twist)!

    The 70’s colors are alive and well and living on that mood board. I am sooooooooooooooooo glad that wall to shag carpeting hasn’t come back into style though. It is so funny that the mood board came back today. Just yesterday I was talking to my friend about how I missed them! Good job guys. susan
