hi. I have a huge genuine link taylor dining room suit. it has several pieces. I will have top go top my mom's top take photos but a.m selling to part with it. it is gorgeous. let me know if you're interested.

I think having a combined dining room and library is such a great idea and your new table and chairs look fantastic in there! Congrats on such great finds for the dining room and the LR. Lynn

patricia, My flooring: Kitchen has 16X16 tile (travertine look but budget friendly ceramic lol, so it's a nice oatmeal/taupe). My cabs are white, but right above the uppers next to the ceiling I have glass cabs that are deep red inside with lights for display (this used to be a soffit area and we did this during the kitchen remodel). My countertops are granite from HD-mojave cream, so it has some red, black, green, taupe, creame white. My living room/foyer, dining room, stairs and upstairs foyer/hallway are all hardwood flooring, it's a light natural oak , (I let my bf decide). I wanted to stain them dark).. Here's a pic that looks almost identical to what they look like: (ours are not polyed yet and doesn't have the orangey look but has the color variation) Our sofa /chair/ottoman is a dark taupe/cappucino colored leather and we will be keeping it. (I bought it after I painted my LR it's current color, which now looks like chocolate milk exploded, that's WHY all the downstairs is being repainted). My sofa table, LR tables are all the dark espresso/cherry like the DR set. I have held the paint chips up to the dining set and the sofa and they look good against it...but i def want to make it look richer and not wash it out! Currently the DR is a deep mocha color, however it makes the room look TOO dark, it's about 2 shades darker that the current LR color. I'm looking for colors to tie in the floor with the color variation, dark furniture, and play off the sagey/grey green of the kitchen (deep red accents) Our kitchen gets Western light, so the kitchen often looks brighter during the day, and a darker olive around sunset. The DR and LR get Eastern light (front of the home) but the LR always gets more light than the DR (more windows). The LR flows into the Kitchen,foyer and DR. The DR sets between the foyer/LR and Kitchen! This is a older home so it's not the super open layout. We did take out 34 inches of the wall separately the foyer/DR to bring more light in since it only has one set of double windows! Here was my inspiration wall color pic for MY kitchen: Here's my granite: *you can't really see the red in the pic above but it's there! I can post pics of my kitchen tonight, LR layout, and sofa for LR...i'm at work now and surfing for ideas! Shame on me!

Hi! I'm so glad I found this forum!! I just stumbled upon a gorgeous Henredon dining set at the local church thrift store and couldn't resist grabbing it up at the price of $250!!! It's a large dining table with 3 oversized leafs, 8 chairs (one of the arm chairs and one of the armless chairs have a little damage to the cane backs), and all pads (including the cloth bags to store them in). The whole set is in great condition with the exception of the cane back damage on the two chairs. The wood is patterned and is of a medium tone, the two "leg/pedestal" sections are a lighter painted wood. The chairs are done in the lighter painted wood too, with cane backs. I know the painted part is done by Henredon (and not aftermarket) as my parents had a VERY similar set from Drexel Heritage years ago and it was the exact same coloring/style (also the main reason I jumped on this set...nostalgia!). Speaking of which, does anyone know the relationship (if any) between Drexel Heritage and Henredon?? Anyway, I'll be posting pictures shortly, but was hoping someone on here could help me ID the name/pattern of the set. There are two sets of numbers on the bottom "20-5301-51" and "543 L19". Any help would be greatly appreciated! We're not sure if we are going to keep the set or re-sell it, as it may just be too large for our dining room. Either way, I'd like to know the name.
