    What colors do you have that adjoining room? Is it the living room?The wall with the sconces looks kind of bare. Can that wooden bar cart be centered under them. Or do you have a console table that could go there?

    I tried to post earlier but thought it didn't go through. I've now attached the adjoining living room too. Front foyer, living room and Dining room is sort of L-shaped. We are under a remodel at this time repainted walls using two tones: SW balanced beige and tony taupe. We lab to replace all living room furniture, drapery in living/dining room and then wall decor. I am completely stumped as to what style/decor would look best. We also have a fly screen TV mounted in the corner of living room which I think is an eyesore, but want to have a tv in this room. I am desperate for any suggestions. I seem to be tradition/modern style. HELP PLEASE!

    Being afraid to get the wrong furniture - something you regret -creates a paralysis as it can be costly and dissatisfying. I think you should go to furniture stores and take photos of what appeals to you; go on sites such as this one and copy the photos of furniture and "looks" that appeal to you; buy decorating magazines and tear out the pages that appeal to you. You should start to get a feel of how to proceed.

    You have overstuffed chairs blocking the entrance to dining area. How about the new couch in front of window; side panel drapes framing the window; a coffee table and two chairs. Try to avoid the over stuffed look as most spaces are just not large enough to accommodate that look.

    I would put all 6 chairs around the table - the two in the corners looked "scrunched" in there. Put a sofa table or something like that under the sconces/plates; spread the plates out more

    take the china cabinet apart use only the bottom part and stain it espresso as well all chairs. go to fabric store (Hancock) get enuff fabric to cover all chair cushions, to be placed around table. Paint table off white. place a medallion above chandelier and replace the 5 glasses on chandelier as well. paint moldings white. Take objects on wall and place above china cabinet. Paint walls in a beige/gray. Add a potted plant (Fig Tree). Replace plain white curtains with geometrical pattern curtains with colors. If there's hardwood floors underneath carpet, pull it up, clean and restain and place an area rug (sisal) under dinning table. best wishes!
