I need to see your space and some clue as to your style . I don’t love matchy matchy and for sure not a mirror like that in a DR and I have to say thosed beaded chandeliers just always look like 60s macrame

Oh thank you! But I was just asking solely about the set. Not the entire decor (mirror, wall art, chandelier, etc.) I am looking for thoughts on the dining set and the china cabinet that goes with it.

As far as sets go, it's nice looking. I generally prefer the look of separately purchased table and chairs. I think it adds more interest to the room. If you find a table you love, then you can get comfortable arm chairs and side chairs which don't have to match but can reflect other elements in the room or house.

I'd add, with that tone of wood (perhaps driftwood?) it gives a beachy kind of vibe. If that's the look you're going for, it is a nice looking set. Makes sure that you've tried sitting in the chairs and they are comfortable.

Thank you. It's described as a "mink" color. Here is another photo that is a bit more 'real:'

and that is the same wood floor that the set would be in.

This Miri bar cabinet is in the dining room as well. I think it would compliment the set?

Anyone else have any thoughts?

Person opinion so please don’t take it very seriously.
I don’t love the dining set. I agree that separate table. And then finding a chair you love adds more interest and a personal touch to a space. The cart is pretty. Most importantly what do YOU think? What’s YOUR favorite style? do YOU like this set?

The set is beautiful and I happen to love my furniture matching (it's what I always wanted in my own home after growing up in my parents home that had mismatched furniture). IMO, mismatched looks like a mistake and an after thought! If it's what you want, go for it! The dining room set looks very similar to my matching bedroom set we purchased in 2018 and I love it!

I do not know what my style is, honestly. I feel like that is kind-of luxury for people with a lot of money! I mean, if I had unlimited funds to decorate from top to bottom then I could 'find a style' I suppose but for the most I have got to do things slowly and work with I already have or can afford. My friend says I am traditional and my mother in law thinks I am modern (but she is into American colonial so anything beyond that is modern to her - haha!) The thing that attracted me to the set was the color. The room is dark - in terms of natural light and floors and walls. So, friends said get a light colored dining set. But I do tend to like darker wood. What I liked about this set and china cabinet is that is was kind of light but not 'light' wood. So, that is what hooked my interest. A friend of mine thinks it will look great in the room but she is not a professional though she is better with color than I and much more artistic. Anyway so I like to solicit what others' opinions (the good and the bad, not offended at all!) or maybe if anyone even has experience with the set. Hope that makes some sense!

Here is a picture of my family room from my kitchen. Not sure what style this is? But most of it I is 'mine' at this point. Kinda traditional with some modern? No idea!

We updated our bedroom in 2018 because we still had the same mid 70's bedroom set that we purchased right before we got married. We now have a gorgeous, updated bedroom and I'm very happy with it! I prefer Traditional styles and yes, the dining room set, along with my bedroom set fit in that category.

Your bedroom set is lovely! I guess I am more traditional in style as well!

There is a mixture of Traditional and Modern, which is called Transitional. Due to what I could find when shopping for furniture for my house, we have a blend in the living room as well.

Thanks so much! Your home looks lovely and very comfortable, which is very important to me and I'm sure important for you as well!

This is what is in there now. Yes, I know. I do not like it. We were given it (by my mother in law when she updated her set and gave this to us) and I have always been sorry that I let them in the house with it as now I can't seem to get rid of it. Does anyone have any dining sets they would recommend?

SashaDog, I have to admit, that did cross my mind - i.e., that it would look dated quickly. What color wood of a set would go well with cherry floors?

From what you show in your picture, the dining table you have isn’t that bad. Can you show what the base looks like? Maybe you could get away with only replacing the chairs to update the look.

I would want a more traditional finish. Many times furniture has different finish options you can check out. I like the style though very much.

Maybe I just get rid of the china cabinet. That was my grandmother's china but I do not use it because I am pretty sure it's got lead in it. Maybe I get rid of the china cabinet and china and get a buffet for that area. Something like this: https://www.potterybarn.com/products/lorraine-storage-buffet/?pkey=s~Lorraine~39#viewLargerHeroOverlay (because it seems to match the table?)

I agree. When I saw what you currently have u jumped!! It’s really really pretty!!
Please show the base. I think I’d keep that table!! I really really like it!!!! New chairs and it’ll look brand spankin new!!

HU-187528210, Here is the base:

One thing that you can not really see from the pictures is that the entire set has been "flyspecked," which is when a finishing person who is “antiquing” the piece use a toothbrush and some black paint to “flyspeck” the finish. I do not care for it. This was apparently a common technique even a hundred years ago, but is almost universally present where furniture makers want to create the appearance of depth, texture, or age in new furniture and cabinets over the last 75 years.

Okay, I did not get the Kelly Ripa dining set. Thanks for the feedback - very helpful! I got rid of the china and china cabinet and decided to make do with what I have for now. Eventually I will get new buffet/sideboard and table and chairs. Anyway, here are some photos. Looking for idea for the middle of the table.

Disregard the stuff in the right hand corner - was cleaning things out and forgot I put it there.

I am thinking of copying this for the center of table:

Thoughts? Other suggestions? Thanks!
