Dining Room....Finally, need help with rug
Comments (10)I agree that a funky, modern look is not in keeping with your beautiful, traditional room and furnishings! I love traditional Orientals, and one would look fantastic in your room, but if you want to go "Transitional" I think that would also work well. My sis has furniture that is very classic, as is her architecture, and she just purchased a paisley rug for her dining room. The background of the rug is similar in color to your walls, and the large paisley motifs are cream. The somewhat large scale of the paisley print offers a slightly modern twist on a time-honored design. It works really well with her traditional things, but also adds a little fun to the room in a subtle way. This mix reflects her personality well- she's an elegant, graceful person with light-hearted humor and down-to-earth warmth....See MoreNeed help with chairs for dining room table/wall color
Comments (2)As far as the mason jars on the wall, this is what I had envisioned but I just want everything to be uniform and match is all. Ignore the dark wood... I would prob stain it the same color as the table is stained so it matches... or does it even matter?...See Moreneed help finding an area rug to go under the dining room table.
Comments (16)Put your centerpiece on the chess table. Is the other ornate dining set for breakfast, gaming or could it be used here? Do you want to continue with the cow head/skin theme, leaning SW in your decor? They aren't really "cozy and elegant," IMO. Is a new chandy in the picture? That one misses the mark on elegance. You need a minimum of 36-42" from the table top to any baseboards or furniture surrounding the table to allow for chair sit/scoot space. I'd do that measurement first. I really wouldn't want the rug jammed up against the exterior wall. Maybe the smaller, round table would be a better choice for using a rug here....See MoreNeed help with chairs and mixing styles and wood tones in dining room
Comments (12)My second comment is everything is priced high right now. I would wait. There is a lot of furniture for sale in every state as the largest move is taking place in the USA Homes are selling with furniture, people are selling what they do not want to move. Ebay Craig's list Next door Neighbor Chairrish 1st dibs and local shops have a large assortment. Look around you might find something or work with what you have. Prices are starting to settle back down. I think your room is lovely A dining room is where the family will never notice what the colors are, only the day. The fun, the silliness and Mom's favorite dish being served. Enjoy it all...See Morehwanrj
