kateskouros, That looks like it's turning into a stunning room! I am very excited to see the finished work. Looks like you are coming along nicely. This is our dining room seen to the right as you are standing at our front entrance, which is a 2 story foyer. Not sure if this is what you meant...

Don't write off fabric just yet. You could use microsuede, Crypton, or any of the newer indoor/outdoor fabrics available now. My DD chucked a whole bowl of tomato soup on one of my pale blue microsuede chairs and I swear it cleaned up perfectly. I think softer lines, and fabric, would bring some balance to the angularity of your room. I love the artwork and might think about pulling some color from the painting next to the stairs into said fabric. I know and love your kitchen from the KB. Nice to see you over here. looking forward to seeing more! :-)

Mom2SethC, I think you've found some good choices. Yes, the bench is a very Modern piece but the strong geometry of its base echoes the lines of your cabinets, the wood's color is a color that, via stain or a new table altogether, would go with the look in the photo you found, and the upholstery's grid picks up the floor tile. The chairs, too, were just what I had in mind, although Jejvtr is right about the scale of mine being a bit undersized. Like I said, those aren't cut-&paste items from Photoshop, they came straight out of my brain one pixel at a time, and by the time I got them done and realized they were too short, I didn't feel like spending another hour re-doing them. Obviously, you got the idea. Anyway, the shape & the clean lines of both light fixtures is good, and you could stick with a white shade, although I'd look for a soft matte-finish metal or go with paint rather than the shiny chrome, since four chairs' worth of legs is already plenty of sparkle. The suggestion to maybe try a custom shade color rather than white isn't bad, either. Like I said in my first post, white is what the area needed to give a little more life to it's dark & kind of murky palette, but you don't want too much of it in a small area, or, as was mentioned, it could look like somebody else's dining area got delivered by mistake. So, while I don't care much for that scrolling leaf pattern, that orange/red color might be a good alternative for a custom shade, to better tie the front grouping to what's going on behind it, and since you've got the actual red/orange/whatever accent pieces with you, you'll know best which color would be best for the shade. [And Alicate, on that other thread? You certainly don't need to apologize. Not, anyway, to me. Your follow-up question was perfectly reasonable and besides, I always like to give the benefit of the doubt to my fellow posters, and assume that don't have any bad motives. The hyper-sensitive taking-of-offense-on-behalf-of-other-people & the silly attempts at shaming posters for perceived slights & insults, and the attendant conunterattacks on the whiners that I see on other boards are the main reason I stay away from those places. That's schoolyard nonsense. It's nice being on a forum where people can have different tastes & express different opinions without all hell breaking loose. As the great decorator Elsie de Wolfe said, "Never complain, Never explain."] Now I gotta run, friends. Time to find some inspiration.

Beautiful rooms and paint color, minuscule. I will have a look at BM Silver Mist. I like the Accessible Beige but Dear Husband does not. He says it looks dirty. It exactly matches some of the tones in the flooring and is nearly identical to the fireplace surround, and extremely close to the couch color, which would make the couches sort of disappear and an accent wall color for the fireplace wall necessary. SW Accessible Beige on top, SW Creamy on the bottom. SW Creamy is really yellow. Too yellow. Such a tall wall. Was thinking about adding some trim like this (not in Georgian style because mine is not a Georgian style house) to break up the blankness a bit. I will look at BM Silver Mist and for something slightly lighter than Healing Aloe. Dear Husband liked the look of BM Constellation
