have you tried the table length wise? the beer keg and the cabinet ..... I would do really simple black chairs try looking on pottery barn, id also get a light colored rug to help the base of the table stand out. https://www.potterybarn.com/products/keva-leather-dining-side-chair-mp/?catalogId=84&sku=73649&cm_ven=PLA&cm_cat=Google&cm_pla=Furniture%20%3E%20Dining%20Chairs&cm_ite=73649_14552546110&gclid=CjwKCAjw4JWZBhApEiwAtJUN0AtORpMQZBfvGBAKuqim8XcoOtGrkE7uWl08n7VHkdQdf8XPPKueFBoCyfgQAvD_BwE

Just confirming the “too expensive” comment. Can you take the seats out? (Check underneath.) It could be a DIY with some inexpensive fabric, foam, and staple gun. Almost any plain fabric would be an improvement over the current fabric. They are beautiful chairs! You could also search for photos for those little chair covers, some with ruffles; some with pleats; some plain that extend over the seat edges and tie in the back.

There are chairs out there with silver legs You have $$$ furnishings and accessories except for the Kirklands level wall decor. Select something that evokes a feeling in you and not something that merely takes up space on the wall Also, the planters look like repurposed wine buckets. That wall requires something taller next to the china cabinet.

Wow, everyone - THANK YOU SO MUCH! So here's where I'm at: 1. Although everyone is saying the room begs for a rug, I dread pulling out a vaccum or duster or sending the robot-vaccum out after each eating episode! This room gets lots and lots of activity, many meals, many kids, etc. That is the only reason I chose to stay with an easy-sweep floor. But I do see how the rug makes a great difference to the look and feel of the room. When the crowds quiet down in my life, I'm going to put a rug there. Will have to work on some other visual accents until then. 2. Yes, I agree that deep colors on the wall (and maybe ceiling) would add a great effect, and some drama to the room...but dark colors really pull me down. It was a long process, I tried several of the deep colors, and have come to realize that all I want is light, I can't exist in dark-colored spaces as beautiful as the room might be! Haven't come up with anything yet, that would stay within the 'light' I crave and would add a beautiful effect. If you have ideas, would love to hear! 3. I agree that the choice of table/chairs and buffet could be different, am not up to changing these yet although will have an eye out... Will move on with fabric for the chairs - thank you, all, for the suggestions! Was such a pleasure to read your input, advice, and suggestions!
