Thanks Ann. I have no other room to put that in, and I store extra table pad pieces (for self-storing leaves) in the drawer, candlesticks, vases, etc. as well as liquor underneath. I need to put the chandy on a dimmer (3-way) since the builder didn't. Was just wodering if painting would need some lighting. I originally had electrical box put there for 3rd sconce for extra lighting for that end of table, without having chandy full brightness. Other 2 sconces are at head of table. I do have china, I also have crystal footed trifle bowl, also silver Revere bowl I could put there. China and buffet are each 18" deep with doors closed, room is only 13 ft wide x 14ft long. I have 8x10 rug under table, centered under chandy which is 5" offcenter. So from china to edge of rug is 16", it's 24" from the shoe to the rug on the other side of the room. I could move the rug/table 5" closer to the china, put the buffet between the windows, but then I'd only have 11" from each case piece to the edge of the rug, and I'm afraid even if people can get around the sides (my parents are large people and need to pull chairs out at least 24" to get in, edge of rug to edge of table is 29" so they should be able to keep the back legs on the rug and not bang the furniture behind them), it will just *look* too crowded. Plus the chandy would be 5" closer to the china side of the table than the window side. I'll take a pic if I can get DH to move the buffet again (we did try it there once). Here's a pic of painting (yes it's too low but I just hung it on mounting screw on top side of box)

Art too high. Lower it to about 2inches above your buffet. Then see what your lamp looks like. Buffet !amps are usually tall and slim. Are those .candles on the !eft? Remove those and spread out your things.

You should delete your previous post and stick with just this one if those inspopix are the way you want to go with the room. They look very contemporary and not too 30ish, which you mentioned in your other post. Search the box above for the phrase "pink guest room" to get some inspiration.

Oh my god! Scorpions??? I have never felt as glad to live in NYC as I do now. I would do everything in my power to avoid a hiding place for them. A few thoughts: Pop of color on the buffet? Something like this but maybe in green? If it is pretty enough you don't need anything at all in it. Buffet - Scorpion proof glass dome with realistic faux succulent inside? Table - Dark wood trencher bowl to contrast the light wood of the table - filled with something - but now I'm freaked out that a scorpion is going to hide in it! Big glass jar with faux flowers like these. (They make really good faux these days.) Clear glass you can see the critters, and might be nice to have some height on the table to bridge it upwards towards the chandelier.
