Thanks for the responses! I didn't mention in my OP what we had come up with on our own as I didn't want to influence or shut down any suggestions anyone here might have. But we were thinking Parsons chairs, a wooden style chair w/ arms and rush seating, and wicker Parsons chairs. We found some at both Overstock & Ballard's that were affordable, but I'm going to try looking for Padma's Plantation, too. We weren't sure that the oval pedestal table and the wicker Parsons chairs would be an appropriate pairing, but Les confirmed my thought that it would lend a cottage feel to that style. We also checked out some armed Windsor chairs that were very comfortable, but I think they would add a heavier, bulkier look to the small space than the wicker Parson style. Leather is out because her sofa is beige leather. It's soft & comfortable and has classic lines, but she thought adding more leather to the room would push it into a more modern/metro look. Thanks again for your input, and if you have any additional suggestions or sources, we'll be checking in!

For dining chairs, you can either try to match the wood tones, or go all-leather/fabric. I would choose something like these: https://www.houzz.com/products/side-chair-in-medium-brown-finish-set-of-2-prvw-vr~62906955 https://www.houzz.com/products/mia-modern-dark-brown-faux-leather-upholstered-dining-chair-set-of-2-prvw-vr~109369377 For stools, I would stick with a saddle style, or something with a low back. https://www.houzz.com/products/mia-modern-dark-brown-faux-leather-upholstered-dining-chair-set-of-2-prvw-vr~109369377 https://www.houzz.com/products/osp-designs-metro-29-saddle-stool-with-nails-and-espresso-legs-molasses-prvw-vr~87970231 Hope this helps!

Having managed vacation properties from Vegas to the Jersey Shore for 15 years, I suggest you try to make the property pay for its own upgrades via rentals. If your area has an off season, you can plan for work to be done during that down time. To lessen the impact of the flooring, stain the grout lines to pop less, or take on a bigger project and have the tile re-grouted a darker color. Pick your favorite light shade from the tiles for wall paint, sticking with the warmer shades so they work with the orange tones of the cabinetry and table. Your samples on the wall look too cool for the flooring and cabinetry. Look for seating with some of the newer durable fabrics like Crypton. Without more photos of the space, it is hard to say what type of seating you need. I assume there is TV somewhere in the room. Can you post more pix?

What are the furnishings in the rest of the space ?
