Sorry, here is the photo.

also I am getting new furniture for my dining room I want a farm table so the rest will have to change out too. this is what Im thinking for the DR . I think if i do the grey and peach in the LR then this would work for DR.

Your rug works with the couch, and it also works with the color of the dining room. The dining room color would work very well in your living room. It is the beige that is throwing everything off. Its the living room that needs painting, not the dining room. In the dining room, I would paint that white table and chairs black, or a much darker color. Then add color to both rooms for accent colors in pillows, etc. Black coffee and end tables would add a lot to the living room too. It may be easier to paint the dining room, but, it wont solve your problems in the living room. Its still beige, and it still doesnt work. I love your couch, and your rug. Good choices.
