The grey looks nice.Now it just needs a great picture with warm tones included. As for the table and idea would be to sell it,but be choosey about who you sell it to soyou feels it's gonetoa home where it will be loved. Or just donate it someone will want it. Another thing I find I have to do when giving away things from those I've loved who have passed away is remind myself that the object is not the person. The person I keep forever with me in memories and love I feel for them. I keep those even with (in my case) my gran's vase and servingtray are gone. They are not her. (Don't know if that just works for crazy me---but in case it helps you...) Look forward to seeing your room as it develops further. The colour of your cabinetry is beautiful.

We reside in Chicago, but our heart is out west. About ten years ago my husband had a Meyer lemon tree shipped to us. In lives out side from May through October inside through the winter where we enjoy the fragrance of its blooms if you are not familiar think gardenia. We average about 40 lemons a year we do share some while most are used for lemon drop martinis. It is a pleasure to share with the locals that citrus has varieties and for those who are very unfamiliar a band-aid after they encounter a spike. For those who are having trouble growing their lemon trees ours is potted, we use only organic potting soil and citrus food. We did pay more for a larger tree and had lemons the second year.

Mary, we moved from a home with a very similar living/dining room set up minus the paneling and tv. The living room layout was tricky because of the traffic patterns. Eventually I settled on an oversized love seat and two wingback chairs that were much more versatile. My living and dining room had the same color walls and window treatments for consistency. You've got a lot of wood, brown with cute pups thrown in for good measure! Regarding downsizing, when we moved to a much smaller home I gave away a lot of antique furniture to family and friends. Luckily our daughter purchased her first home shortly after and was in need of furniture. As I was purging, I asked myself, do I love it?, do I have a place for it? If the answer was no, I had to set it free. Please don't allow yourself to be burdened (yes, I used that word) by things you have no room for. Let your pieces be loved by someone else. I took a lot of pictures of the pieces that I set free, in fact I created a photo collage of a wall mural and door frame of my kid's growth chart to hang in our current home. I enjoy seeing the furniture I gave to others in their homes too! Like visiting an old friend.

oops wrong room thought you wanted orange kitties. but maybe the answers are alike. duck with a cat gives and orange kitten. duck with a dog gives you a banana, confusing i know. lol
