Looking at the main dining space now, I appreciate how this credenza contributes to the space without competing with everything around it. The best part for me is that the main dining space still feels relaxed even with this credenza giving it more structure. It has enough presence to matter, but the room still has breathing space. The end result in the main dining space feels like our home, only more finished.

For the mood we wanted in our main dining space, I wanted one strong piece without making this room feel busy, and this worked out well. I would choose the same direction again for this space.

From one side of our dining area to the other, I wanted the space to look collected rather than decorated all at once, and the piece helped with that.
