THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUGGESTIONS! And especially thank you for the kind words about my house....besides the fact that I am struggling with the details, our house truly has become our "home"..we are surrounded by amazing neighbors who are now true friends and are so blessed to live in a gorgeous area. I am going to peruse some stores today to try to find somthing long and low to center on the sideboard as that seems to be the majority vote! I find I really do struggle with thinking that I've just got random accessories scattered about my home with no real groupings or flow. I think part of my problem is also that I don't quite know what my "style" is. I've always just said comfortable french with some modern accents thrown in - like brown leather slipper chairs in my library, maybe sortof pottery barnish - I don't know. I definitely love my black accents and start to worry that I've overdone them.......If I only had a decorating identity - lol. As for the sideboard - It was made by Collezione Europa and bought from a local store here - not expensive by any means! Unfortunately I did buy it about 4 years ago so I'm not sure they would still make it....I also have a little black table with gold nail heads from the same company in my living room..they have some beautiful, inexpensive pieces. And the sectional was from Bassett. We looked long and hard to find a sectional that fit...my favorite one was at Thomasville but was just massive and wouldn't work...my family room is long and thin and we needed to find small....and affordable! The quality seems ok so far...it definitely gets its share of abuse with two kids and two dogs! As for the suggestion of moving the sideboard, I wish I could show it off in a better area but the layout of my house seems to have left out one major thing....wallspace! We've really struggled with that....it is all windows. As for the French-Asian suggestion...this really intriques me - since I have no idea what french-asian is...but the colors you listed are my favorite colors...I've been wanting to add some blue to my sea of red, gold, green, brown and black for a long time but don't know how. Can you post a picture of what something french-asian would be? Thanks again so very much......Hopefully this can be checked off my list and I can move onto my living room which is number two and of course involves tablescaping again...my weakness!

We have---except for a Miele Dishwasher and a Jenn-air Fridge, all Electrolux Appliances -----Wine Cooler, Convection oven, and speed oven. All these appliances had the same type handle--a large horizontal Arc. We wanted the Fridge to match it has wooden panels and is a built in 48 ". Soooo We called Electrolux and ordered their Fridge handles for their icon series--so all the handles match, except the Fridge and Freezer door handles are vertical instead of horizontal as are the other 3 appliances.

Amazing pictures and advice everyone, thank you! Thank you Dan, those look fantastic. I will ask my cabinet maker about that approach to the inset look. Rocky I know! I should stop looking for inspiration anywhere else (but it is fun to keep looking)! Nosoccermom, I just love the leather pulls on the second kitchen. I will have a large wall of tall pantry that would look fantastic if I modelled it after the pantry in your third picture. Perhaps the pantry in shaker, the drawers (which is pretty much the rest of the kitchen) in inset slabs. Not sure that I'll be able to do anything but blue and white now! When are you doing your Victorian space?? I'm definitely going for a slightly European old space / modern design look I think. LisaD, wow, that green kitchen is fantastic. I would love to have that space to entertain all my GW advisors! And I have about a dozen deVol kitchen pics in my Pinterest inspiration pictures, I just love it. Definitely prohibitive to ship from the UK though! Anglophilia, I'm all over the drawers as well, love them. No upcharge for full inset is a great advantage. I fortunate to have an exceptionally talented cabinet maker brother-in-law, so he will do my cabs custom (assuming he has time and I give him plenty of notice!). I will post a pic of my book matched walnut slab drawers that he did for me for my current kitchen. I will be sad to leave them. But I'm looking forward to the new place now!

Is the jute rug centered on the FP? so that it's equal from both sides. It might be covering up too much of your flooring. I think these images below come close to the concept I would recommend for your room. The room could use some black pattern in a rug and the other colors would be good for pillows etc. Pillows are from Etsy https://www.bellacor.com/productdetail/palliser-834-060-kalahari-natural-square-coffee-table-2154663.htm https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdx/savannah-solid-wood-coffee-table-with-storage-lrfy1929.html?&experiencetype=2&selectedvertical=2 https://www.afastores.com/casana-tyler-square-coffee-table.html
