If you are including the dark green tile in the background than the yellow tile with either the trim on the left or the middle bamboo. The trim on the right doesn't look as good with the dark green tile in the back. But, if on the other hand, you are not including the dark green tile in the mix than either yellow or white large tile. I prefer the trims on the left and middle with the yellow large tile. But all of the trims look good with the yellow tile. I prefer the trim piece on the right with the white tile and nothing else, but I would have to see it in person to be sure there was enough light color in that small right hand trim piece to go with the whitish large tile. The color and pattern is personal preference, you get to choose:) The size of the trim is personal too, but generally people want the trim to look balanced and in scale with their room as mentioned above.

The color of my new dining room is 'French Bulldog' black, the runner for the stairs was chosen specifically because the dogs like to guard (I use that term very loosely) from the landing and we have coordinating beds scattered throughout the house. My pimped out minivan is black with a personalized Frogdog plate and Harley is the poster child for the labels on our homemade wine. So I guess the answer is a resounding yes. I'm the neighborhood dog freak - love these pictures, but always, always have a soft spot for the short noses - especially that little black pug!

Thank you jeannienpc99, dilly_dally, and lyfia for responding. I had a long seminar yesterday (I take seminars for knowledge in my profession and to keep my license since I need 120 Continuing Professional Education Credits every 3 years) so I was so tired when I wrote the post last night. I have a home office and have tax and business clients who come to me for my expertise. A few of many clients have become friends from knowing them for so many years. One client is the age my father was when he died last year. This client is retired and lives very close to me and keeps asking me if I need help since he likes to keep himself busy and helps anyone that needs help which makes him feel good. A few months ago, I had told him I was going to Lowes's to get the tiles I decided on. He told me he would go with me since amazingly he is very strong and he would help me get the tiles in the car and into my home. That is when someone came up to us with that extra coupon that they did not need and we used both which was the mistake since then I would have the lighter lot number still here. The other client I withdraw from the engagement since he needed really a full-time bookkeeper as well as a CPA for his two corporations that was more work than I had time for since his other two corporations are out of state. He promised to buy me tiles and get them installed if I helped out with a sales tax audit despite my resigning. I decided to stay on as a consultant since the new accountant needed my help. The tile guy he had come here (that tiles a few of his buildings he owns) that does great work seems to be much to busy for me and despite buying the tiles myself is still not showing up so I just want to find someone to pay myself to get the job done. I did not realize until yesterday that the new lot I bought (7 boxes of Rialto Beige Tiles to have extra in case needed due to wanting the tiles on the diagonal and also having a closet to put the tiles in) was a darker color. I can live with the darker color but I prefer the lighter color of the Rialto Beige Tiles but I have no idea what lot number the lighter color is. I need to do the tiles first before I can remove this rug to do the hardwood floors. My busy season is coming up and I am starting to get busy with special projects and a new estate project that was just dropped off. Some of my clients have been with me over 18 years and have become friends. Most of my clients only have a professional relationship with me, mailing me their work, or dropping it off and the relationship is 100% business. Thank you for your time. Do you find the lighter Rialto Beige tiles match better also in my area or at least look nicer?

No one looks at themselves in a mirror while eating, so if that's what you would like to hang there, by all means DO. A mirror is a classic dining room element that expands the space, reflects chandelier light and candle glow, as well as the people gathered around the table together. It's a lovely addition. Should you choose artwork instead, don't feel you must match your choice to artwork in another room. Art is much more interesting when you collect pieces that speak to you in some way; that have special meaning to you and say something about who you are as a person. Anything else and you might as well be in a dentist's waiting room. It's your home ... let it reflect who you are.
