It occurred to me that if you liked shaker you'd probably like Greene and Greene which is in my opinion, a much more elegant variation of the craftsman era aesthetic. Unfortunately, a quick check on Darrel Peart's website indicates his furniture is way past your stated budget. There are others doing that type of reproduction, I'm just not as familiar with them or their work.

Julie, Here are the pics of dining room visible from the living room. Need to add drapes here as well. The art can change (if required, but prefer to make it work) and chandelier HAS to change, but would like to keep everything else. I know the rug is small, but it's comfortable and doesn't bother me (I trained my mind because I have no choice lol), so don't want to change it. Atleast for now. Would the Kravet fabric I posted above work in the dining room? Thank you.

If a small table is good for everyday, there are workarounds for occasional family get-togethers. Reading Sarah Susanka's books may give you some ideas for having your spaces live large. For example, she suggests 2 smallish tables that are the same height, that can be put together for occasional larger dining needs. For large meals we split people up between the kitchen and dining room tables, and the rule is that mid-meal you shuffle places so you have different dining companions for dessert. For holiday meals my MIL used to put tables end-to-end that covered the full length of living-dining room, such that the people on the far side needed to crawl under the table to get there. Obviously that was for the younger more nimble people. The kids loved it and still talk fondly about diving under the table. If your need is for a more elegant dining experience for couples, that obviously won't work LOL.

That will depend on the fixtures so post pics of what ones you are considering. BTW you will need to stay with no wider than 42" make sure what you buy allows 36" min all around the table and you will pobably need a buffet too so allow for that in your measurements .We also need a bit of info as to your style. Ideally a pic of the table and chairs and space too.
