Dining Room Set that matches this fixture? (Resolved, Thank you!)
Hi All!
I'm open to ANY and all considerations. If you can please suggest a dining room set that you feel would match this fixture. I did my best to draw out the dining room and the measurements.
ARABESQUE PENDANT LIGHT DIMENSIONS: 12" High (56" Max Adjustable Height) x 24" Wide, Weight: 17.2 lbs.
DETAILS: Constructed of Steel with Oil Rubbed Bronze Finish and Cognac Glass Shade
Additional Helpful Information:
- Home has not been decorated since purchase (little over a year ago)
- No design them yet
- Colors: I love blues, grays, whites, pops of colors
- Home Age: 101 years old
- Floor stain: Dark Walnut
Thank you so much for your suggestions!
Additional pictures so that you can "see" the space as it is today.
I also took the style quiz on Houzz today - My style is Transitional (which I feel is pretty accurate):
- Simple furniture with shapes that are not as detailed as traditional, but more comfortable than contemporary; curves combined with straight lines
- Finishes and Materials - Textured fabrics such as suede and chenille, metallic accents
- Colors - Tone-on-tone colors; neutral, soothing colors: taupe, tan, beige, soft blues, greens

Dining room set on CL - deal or no deal? (pics)
Comments (1)I never heard of American in Seattle. Many are going for the country look I don't think it will be going out of style anytime in the near future, hopefully we're making a come back as it is my personal favorite. As for the price it depends on the quality, if it is solid hardwood with no veneers, I would say $400 would be a fair price....See MoreMatching furniture in dining room
Comments (6)The window is 2 windows side by side, so what you have is fine. The opening is correct. In the bottom right of your diagram there needs to be an opening to the kitchen. It's 33" wide and it's all the way to the corner (maybe 3" of wall, then opening, then rest of wall). The table is 40 x 70. It does have a leaf that can make is 88, but that will only be used for holidays when the whole family is in town, so I'm not worried about that. The chairs are 24" d x 19,75" w. We have 6 of them. The china hutch is 18" d x 54.5" w (57.63" at top). The sideboard is 18"d x 52" w. Please ignore the mess in the photo. We are in the middle of going through some things and have temporarily placed stuff on the table. Also there is a table in the right far corner that will most likely be moved and another piece that you can barely see on the right that will also be moved out of that room. We still need to hang the chandelier and buy some curtains. I could really use a suggestion for a curtain color. The walls are Benjamin Moore Hush and Benjamin Moore Lodge. I had thought something gold/orange would be nice and found some called Gold Imperial Striped at World Market (http://www.worldmarket.com/product/gold-imperial-stripe-grommet-curtain.do), but they looked so dull in the room. So, I need something else. I want something to pop! The plan was to put the sideboard on the wall opposite the china hutch and put a nice painting over it with colors that match with the curtains. Thanks!!! Here is a link that might be useful: Gold Imperial Striped Curtain...See MoreDoes your dining/kitchen set really have to match? (pics)
Comments (20)I recently "traded" my dining set on CraigsList. I say that because I bought a table, chairs & sideboard for a little more than I sold my table and chairs. You might check out your local CL to see how active the furniture listings are, and to get a feel for how much your table and chairs would sell for. I think you might get a better price by selling a whole set than just the chairs. I also notice one big difference in the tables. The one you have has a scalloped apron, while the harvest type have a straight apron. Personally I prefer the straight lines, but others might not care about the difference....See MoreWillette Dining room set needs help, should I refinish?
Comments (1)I am always a supporter of "restoration" instead or "refinishing" If you strip a finish and apply a new finish etc it looks like a new table and ruins the wood's natural patina. This is what they mean by discouraging refinishing. My suggestion would to research furniture restoration techniques to determine what your problem may be. It is probably a wax finish. There are many articles on repairing water damage on wax finishes. You could also search for "furniture restoration or repair" in your area to consult a professional....See MoreWayata

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoI would be looking for a dining set that suited your home and your tastes and not be boxed in by a light fixture. The chandelier also has to have the right proportions for the table and you could end up with a table that is too small for needs and room Can you hang the light in the foyer, upstairs hallway or a bedroom? Or sell?
Then start looking at inspiration dining rooms with attention as to how room is accessorized with window treatment, rug, lighting, etc. Have no idea how traditional or contemporary you are leaning towards, so can’t help much but in the end should work with the rest of your home

3 years ago@Maureen I actually thought of putting it in the foyer and the more I think about it right now, you may be right. Here is the foyer. The door will be stained dark walnut and we're leaning towards a darker blue (top) and white (bottom and door trim) in this area. The steps will also be dark walnut.

3 years ago@Maureen Thank you! I've decided to place it in the foyer. I like your idea regarding tying everything together. I am not a creative and this sort of thing is not my strong point. I appreciate the insight. If you don't mind, I'd like to show you a different view of the area as well as the door outside. The fixture is actually an antique bronze although I could actually paint it black to match the handrails. Thank you.

Lots of people aren’t creative and just look for inspiration. Pinterest is a great resource and you can search from the broader perspective of say a foyer, down to decor. I just searched stair treads😀 which I think would be s nice addition. Good luck.
