Hello, I purchased this table and would like to find some chairs but I am not sure what would be a good compliment. I have looked locally with no luck. Any suggestions? I like a coastal or European country feel. I live on the coast of Alaska but my home is more traditional not a cabin. The table is by Theodore Alexander W42 x H30 x L90 Thank you Kelli

Congratulations on your beautiful new table. Well done. My dining room is 12 x 13.5. I have a Baker double pedestal table similar to yours that is 46" x 88" with both leaves in. It has another one somewhere around here. Anyway in addition to the table there are 6 chairs around it and on one wall a 26" deep at the deepest point bowfront sideboard with one chair on each side of it. It's a little tight but works fine. I think it will fit in your room just fine especially since you don't plan to have a sideboard with it in the same space. If you are concerned about the chairs you could do the taller upholstered chairs at each end and then smaller wood chairs on the sides. I think it looks best with six chairs and storing the other two for larger dinner parties somewhere else. Have fun!

Blue and mahogany can be gorgeous, but I think you need more blue -- a deeper blue. Your paint is very pretty, but the soft contrast looks more like a BR or bath room to me and it pretty much rules out the red for me. Look at something in the nature of the blue in that second photo Annie posted -- maybe even deeper, but not a navy blue. You want more contrast between the white and the blue, but not a sharp contrast or you start getting nautical. Then use the softer gold of the LR wall color as an accent -- your drapes (gold silk or velvet would be yummy) and as one of the colors in a rug. , Look at blues that work with the existing color if you want to keep it in the foyer.-- take a darker version of that color. Looks like you have grey or blue drapes in the LR, and if you like blue enough to paint your walls blue, I bet you have some other touches. Worst case, you might want to add an accessory or two. Gold and silver both work great with blue. Don't be afraid to mix them. It can be very elegant, especially with your crystal. I would do silver or crystal candlesticks. Since fall is coming up, why not keep your eye out for some mini pumpkins for your bowl? Change it seasonally or leave it plain. Crystal is beautiful on it's own. The dark gold tablecloth may look better with a deeper blue, but it is too dark with the light blue and I don't think it shows off the crystal well. Bare wood, a white or cream table cloth or runner might be better choices.

yes, it is a fridge freezer. the larder stores al the food cans, pasta, cereals, milk, water, etc. Is this sketch close to what you describing before? (no coffe station needed since none of the adults drink coffe. However, microwave could be located in there -currently in the kitchen but in the rear wall next to the window not shown in he pictures) I already thought about this arrangement. I like the idea of moving the TV to the opposite wall. However, the wall is plasterboard and there are no electric sockets in there (but it is not impossible to bring electrical cable in there - I do not need TV antena cable). The challenge is to find the extra furniture next to the fridge freezer, since I cannot find anything that can match. Also ideally that storage should go towards the ceiling since I need slightly more storage space. Also bear in mind that the lower skirting board by the fridge finishes like this: Fyi, in the past I had a rectangular table and I played around with the different arrangements, but I still thing there is lot of room for improvement, mainly aesthetically wise.
