Thanks for the opinions - even if four of the colors have been suggested by at least one person. We have agreed that the brandy (suggested by no one) won't work. It is too reddish pinkish and doesn't go with the cherry cabinets. We have had the colors in the family room most of the day. Sixty, the Oxford blue goes well with the blue in the rug, but we decided that it doesn't really work with the quartzite. The quartzite is an aqua blue and the purer navy blue doesn't exactly clash with it but it doesn't do much for tying into it. Of the Rock, Chocolate and Cognac, we are starting to think that any of them could work. We are leaning toward the Cognac. It doesn't have too much red in it and ties well to the cherry. Part of the cherry grain is the same color as it. What we like about it compared to the Rock and Chocolate is that the Cognac still looks like a color when the room lighting is low while the other two start looking just blackish. The Rock and Chocolate would be a lot of dark surface in the room. I really like all the colors and at least three of them would work but watching them in all the lighting conditions, we think the Cognac is best.

Check out Carrington Court Chairs online. They are reasonably priced, you can pick from their fabrics or send your own. They have numerous styles to choose from. I ordered a chair for a desk we use occasionally. I sent my own fabric and am very pleased with the chair...nice upholstery job and they have good customer service.

It's a lovely room but I would choose a larger rug which will make the room look even more elegant and rich. A rug with a border, such as the two directly above, gives a more finished look. Also, a rug with a bit more color variation, perhaps gray or cream with a soft terracotta, would lend more life to your dining room.
