Thanks chispa: I will look at Pier one. It has been a long time since I visited that store too. I have one of their rattan chairs and I like it and it has held up well. chickadee2: Thanks for the suggestion about chairs being small compared to the leather sofa. That was my feeling too for this room. I want really tall chairs so that they don't dwarf. 36" is the height for Chloe chair and my sofas are 35" tall. The tux chair is 35" too which is the same as Mackenzie chair. Don't you think that this height will work? Does one of the style look good in particular with my sofa. If anyone can do a mock up in Photoshop, I will really appreciate their help. It will help me visualize it better.

mitchdesj, it's funny you say English style, because that is something I would really like to achieve. I think I've watched too many episodes of "Relocation, Relocation". Like Jenny says it is very RL. Oceanna, the baseboards are actually hot water radiators. They give great heat and look kind of cool to boot. They are brass under the paint and DH keeps hinting he might eventually strip them. The wall colour has been great, but we've had it for almost 10 yrs now so we are ready for a change - back to neutral. sujafr, I am really wrestling with that whole idea. I know I will love either of those florals for a few yrs but a neutral would be so much more practical. The dark floral is so distinct, it will really dictate how I can decorate. But then again, it is a style of chair that would lend itself to slipcovering down the line. Rosewind, I really appreciate your comments on the big florals always being in style. It pushes me a little closer to choosing something more dramatic. Funny you should say that about the stripe. It is the stripe that is recommended to go with that floral, but I didn't like it much either. I preferred a much different one with wider stripes and a brighter green. I just ran across a Mario B. quote about how to achieve the English look - something about getting the perfect mix of fabric and antiques and then locking 2 poodles in the room for a weekend. Thanks totallyblessed. I am really surprised so many like that print. I showed it to my DH (who actually has pretty good taste) and he absolutely hated it. But like a good husband, he has come around having seen how much I like it.

Not a designer but I vote for white.
