Very nice improvements!! I might add a table runner so the three items are connected more. Maybe tiny LED lights on palm leaves or an up light behind the palm would add to the space. Not fond of the drapes. Could you find a black and white toile or small print that would work with the chair seat covers?

it's looking good! I'd put a larger picture/photograph to the right of the hutch. and i'd change out the light for one in ORB to pick up on the curtain rod and pulls on the low chest. it'd also balance out some of the white. you could probably spray paint it and maybe look for beige/tan shades.

dd,

I just want to comment that your dining room looks so much warmer and more comfortable with the changes you've made. I think it looks great! The only thing I can see is the small picture to the right of the china cabinet looks like it is floating away. I think because it is maybe too small or maybe too high up.

You've done a wonderful job on that room.

I think it is looking great too. I like the newest drapes and also the toile romans you had in the beginning. A table runner would be good too. And I agree about the picture to the right of the china cabinet.

You've done so much work. Huge improvement. Makes me want to come in and sit down! I agree with picture on right. Need to have something larger. I like the drapes but agree they don't flow with toile chair .. no harmony there. Would be very easy to swap out fabric on chair ... something to link from across the room. One other thought .. what about replacing white lampshades for something that ties in with your colors as well. A few more tweaks and you'll be there!!

I think you've really improved the space. I love the new
curtains also since I have the exact ones from CC here in
my family room...much nicer looking IRL. While I love the
toile fabric in itself, I don't think it "plays nice" with
those curtains at all...just my opinion.

Wow, that is a lot of work, but well worth it. It looks so much warmer and welcoming now. I do agree w/ the other comments about the toile fabric not complementing the curtains (which I think really are in keeping w/ your table style, etc). And the lampshade idea from tnorman sounds promising, also.

Again, great job--you should feel proud of your updates--they look wonderful!

Love it...beautiful curtains btw, where are they from?

I think the room looks lovely and the drapes warm it up. I also have BM camouflage in my home and I put a lot of reds/beige and green in the rooms. I think if you have a picture that compliments all the colors in the room with a black frame it would pull the room together and the picture should be large enough to make a statement.

thanks again everyone. I do love the new drapes, they are from country curtains and look much better than a picture can capture. For those of you who commented about changing the chair covers, your right..I will do that to tie in to the curtains more. Now that i look at the picture hanging it is too small. Its always good to look at these things through other peoples eyes..I have been looking for table runners and I cant find any nice ones. I could make one I guess using my good old hemming tape since I dont sew!
ok, back to it!!

Is there a reason the hutch isn't centered on the wall?
I guess the palm is 'live' and needs to be by the window, but it'd look nice in the larger space to the right of the hutch.

Like others, I think you need two large prints on each side of the hutch......(yes, put one behind the palm). : )

Only other thing I'd change is to add some large decor on the table. Some ideas are a decorative basket, a wire basket holding lots of fruit (real or faux), a large ceramic bowl that picks up the colors of your drapes, or maybe some type of statue.
