Much better - everything really ties together now!

Definitely a lot better with the new table and chairs, glad you like it!

It's not a good ending, it's a great fab ending!!

Just goes to show that going with your heart can definitely lead to a happy ending.....well done!

YESSSSS.

AWESOME!!!

and jojotennis lived *happily ever after*,,,,;)

Beautiful! I am glad you were able to get a new table and chairs. The room is now completely redone and looks fab!

congrats... well done...

I love the light and the table. See how the chairs work for you over some time.

Gotta agree, it looks great now.

Aren't you glad you didn't listen to those who told you to get rid of the light fixture? Love the dining room table and the kitchen cabinets are beautiful!!

Before you had a rectangular light and oval table....not a match......also the light is more modern and the dining set was more "colonial"...not a match either!! You have now made this area totally AWESOME and gorgeous!! Congratulations on finding just the right dining set to go with the light, and for NOT "giving up" on it....Mission Accomplished !!

I have a good alternative idea! For a romantic evening of dining put those Flame Flickering Lights in to create the look of candles! That would show beautiful!

Wow! Looks great! Where did you get your table?

Funny you mentioned the candle lights, as we had to put a dimmer on the light because 8 40 watt bulbs looked like a firework explosion and gave off way too much light so the dimmer makes it fun!!!

Remodel789- We ordered the table from a kitchen cabinet maker in Alabama called Wellborn Cabinets. We couldn't find a table the size we needed so they will do custom sizes. We are very pleased, and this table weighs over 250 pounds! Very sturdy.

This is a close up of the top. The finish is rustic but I love the easy care and low worry about taking care of a wood top table with children.

Looks great. Congrats!

Definitely works! It looks wonderful and stands out well against the white cabinets.

Love it. I think a patterned rug with some darker color in some spots would anchor the whole thing. Love large objects in small places. It makes a wonderful statement.

Yes!!!! Much better.

NOW you're cooking !!!

Wow what a difference it looks fabulous ! I do agree with Diana V. McLean the rug could use some pattern bring a little blue for the darkness and it needs to be a little larger rule is 18" to 24" added to each side for the chairs to be pulled out and visually pleasing. Other than that great job.!

To really complete the look I would update your counter stools. Upholstered stools in a complementary fabric would look great!

I love the new table & chairs with your light! The light is stunning..…can see why you wanted to use it. Good job!

Like night & day! Congrats!

And the kitchen is simply beautiful. I just adore the arch over the sink...what a great piece of creativity.

Looks absolutely beautiful!!

So glad you got to see the new table and chairs' pictures. My family was all so thrilled it made such a difference in the room. Not sure it wasn't that we grew accoustomed to the light but it really doesn't seem too large and overpowering anymore. We love Using such a big easy to care for table. Thanks again for being one of only two to say we could possibly make the light work!

The paint is from Sherwin Williams called "Wool Skein" SW-6148. It does have a wash over it and I don't think it has a name, it was a mix by the cabinet maker.

Great job!

Great choice!
