I love 30s Jacobean. My parents had a dining set done of it. The old styles............if you hang on long enough, they come back in vogue. I thought that hutch didn't look right. What a shame they butchered the legs off the china cabinet, and I suspect they sawed off part or all of the legs on the sideboard, too to make it low enough to accommodate settign the china cabinet on top of it. So they took a traditional three piece set and turned it into two. The thing is those sorts of things often happen to 'old furniture' before it's hit the point of vintage and when it's gone, it's gone forever. It's still a nice set however. Actually the fancy work over the glass in the china cupboard isn't that hard to redo. It's held into place by what amounts to fancy quarter round. I've popped the quarter round off my china cupboard door and removed mine to clean it up and get at the glass.

I know the table in the link I've included below is not at all like your table, but for some reason as soon as I started reading your post I thought of Shelli's Alamode blog. She seems to pretty much favor more contemporary pieces, but I like how she mixes things up. Check out her dining room and see if that helps you at all. Also, I don't know that you need to tone down the silver of the nailheads, and I've used this product so can't give testimony as to if/how well it would work, but I've noticed people here and on blogs using something called Rub 'N Buff to change hardware colors and such. Oh, and here's her kitchen table in which she's used a dark table with some white slipcovered chairs. Here is a link that might be useful: Alamode blog

I did a search for you. There are some creative, slightly off the wall, coo coo, and beautiful vintage farmhouse sinks with a desire to make them work.

@justcallmepool I put baking soda in a pan and boiled it, put the hardware in and that gets off the major crud (swirl it around in the pan for a bit). Then I used a toothbrush and bartenders friend and made a paste, scrubbed each piece including the screws etc. and let them sit for a few minutes, then one more scrubbing with the toothbrush and ... beautiful. Now, I did the same on some other hardware and it wasn't nearly as bright but also had a lot more swirly details. Still looked better than when I started.
