California: Peralta Street

Designer Doug Wilson names this dining room "Pink Paradise," and with good reason. Hot pink walls energize the bland space and offer a more intimate room for eating and entertaining. Carpenter Amy Wynn Pastor updates the existing bookshelf with new doors, and the entire unit is painted white to temper the vibrant color on the walls. The brown ceiling and tablecloth bring a touch of warmth to the room, while green covers on the chairs complement the entire palette.
