Now I understand where you are headed. My suggestions will not be matchy matchy and are pretty eclectic in nature. So, hopefully you will get some ideas you may not have thought about. Let's start with the DR. Drapes: I like dramatic so, if the rug has bronze that would be my first choice though there is nothing wrong with gold. I like plain simple drapes. I think drapes like blacksplashes should not be a focal point of a room when you have other beautiful things going. They should help frame the room like the color on the walls do. You may not need pinch pleated drapes. It would save you money not to have the pinch pleats. You need to decide if you want to run them from ceiling to floor or with a rod (I saw some beautiful rods at Calico Corner's. I think JCP carries Kirsch hardware also) above the window not from the ceiling. Dining table: I notice most people select wood to use with oriental rugs. I am working with a designer for my family room and breakfast nook and he just taught me a good lesson: Print rug-glass table, solid rug-wood table. He said you want to show off the beauty of the rug at all times from every direction. They do make some very large glass tables that you can use with 2 wooden pedestals for support or a great square base. If you are having a lot of guests for dinner like Christmas than you can add a folding table and use the same table cloth. This is just a suggestion. You can use wood but I always like to share new knowledge when I learn something. I still like crystal for chandeliers in dining rooms. In this case I would use crystal with some funky lamp shades to add a little fun into the room. You may find these at Home Goods or on line. I would try leopard for shades. It's hard to visualize if this will work without actually seeing it in person. Maybe someone will photoshop. Do you know the size of the table you want to use? I also think you may be able to find dining room chairs on ebay or a used furniture store that might be in decent condition or you can buy them new. Remember the chair wood does not need to match the wood of the table. There is more interest created when they don't. Here is another idea for chairs: you can used entirely different ones for the head of the table. Actually, I am pretty good at decorating eclectically. My friends are always looking for my eye. The designer I am working with always says to me "what do you need me for". Well, he is a great buffer between me and my BF whom I share my new home with. He has made my life so much more easier and is worth every penny. I am also learning alot about decorating from him.

yes drapes will fo on the other window. I only had this one pair because we have new furniture and when we had this set we only had one windows. in regards to the "changing table" this is what it looks like. it used to be a dresser lol. it will NOT stay there. I just dont know what to do with it right now although I could move it upstairs and let my son just use it (the loft is going to be our playroom I hate having toys downstairs) but obviously I dont know what to do with this space. I like the edit with 2 pictures high vs the 3. my FIL is an artist so he will do the painting that goes on the purple wall. this is the color scheme I gave him to play with. he is thinking a gallery wrapped canvas (so it doesnt need a frame) I'm just trying to decide size. should I keep the canvas the length of the buffet table?

I’m sorry, it’s still hard (for me) to understand your space. Any chance you can post a floor plan? I’m guessing one of the dining areas is closer to the kitchen and acts more like a breakfast room?

Well, a painting can add some perspective and color.
