caligirl5, thank you. The rug is from eSaleRugs. I don't know if it's still available. The nice thing about this company is that you can return a rug you don't like without having to pay a shipping fee.

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.

When we renovated our home including the kitchen 24 years ago, I assumed our decorator would say that our colonial style oak harvest table and chairs would need to go, and I was prepared to fight for them LOL. (She was new to us, British, with a plummy accent and lots of style.) But she was horrified at the thought that we would replace such a quality piece. Along the same lines, Prince Charles apparently wears suits with visible mending (apparently his tailor keeps the cutting scraps, for future repairs). I am constantly amazed that people think that a kitchen that was beautiful 30 years ago is suddenly ugly because it is oak. And, heaven forbid, with cathedral arch raised panels. How can they be ewww when they were wow?

Personally I prefer the Indian type print because of its colors. The black-and-white looks too random with your current colors. You could look for a very light tan or beige-y that would blend well with your brown and rust scheme. A big round one.
