9 years ago
I need to add life to the dining room. (Table top, Buffet, and wall)

    Yes, I plan to paint the area above the wainscoting a little darker. I wouldn't want the chandelier to be too busy.

    OK, it looks about 8' so I'll keep that in mind. I have another one in mind that you might like.

    this one is pretty simple yet elegant like your furniture. I have another one that would be nice too.

    this is more simple and hangs from chain so you could get it at the right level. I like the shape for your table and the length is good.

    See if any of these are what you have in mind, and I can put them in photo for you. That's about it for me tonight! Thanks for hanging in there with me!

    Both are VERY nice! By any chance, do you know the mfg. of the chandelier in the foyer of the ring light?

    A little hard to see this one with the other one in the picture. But at least it gives you an idea.

    I don't know which photo you mean with "the ring light?" Can you post it so I can see what you mean. I know most of these chandeliers and where they come from so I might know.

    I'm sorry, the ringmaster chandelier. If you click on the pic, there is an additional pic with a foyer in the background.

    It is a Currey and Company fixture. Very good company. I use them all the time, great quality and great designs. Nite. Enjoy your dreams!

    Looks like you need finishing touches? Is that what you are asking?
  • 9 years ago
    I'm sorry - Yes, I've gone different directions and came up with nothing that works.

    Looks like you need lighting for sure and perhaps a bench to put your pillows when you turn down the bed? Drapery, some wall art? Could you do a quick sketch so I can orient how the room sits, where the bed sits in relation to the entry to the room, where the fireplace sits? etc. We can go from there.

    Back to your dining room. After hunting that entry fixture last night (or was that early this morning!? lol) I thought I would play with that look in your dining room. That might be a great look for your dining room. Have you considered that. I posted a photo. In real life, this fixture is gorgeous. It is elegant, nice clean lines, but also very pretty. Would go with your furniture very well. Than you can do tall pier lamps on your console in a similar finish that you choose for the chandelier.

    lol - The bed is facing the fireplace.

    Picture on wall is too small. Like drapes and I see you got a bench. So what about lamps? I will look for art, lamps, and accessories.
  • 9 years ago
    Yeah! I know the pic is too small. I wished they had a larger one.

    Have your purchased the lamps? These look to contemporary for your furnishings. Here is one I think would be great.

    It brings lighter carved wood and has a nice rectangular shape so much of the night stand surface is available. Very nice lamp.

    This might work on your round table. Has the "bulk" to carry the weight of the table and brings some architectural interest.

    I would put a fireplace screen in front of fireplace to give it a more "finished" look. Something like this.

    And a slipper chair to other left side of fireplace something like this. Where you might sit and perhaps read or just relax. Kind of "finish" off the look of the fireplace and it looks like you have the space. Great room!

    This would bring a little pattern and some color into the room, which I think it needs. Pretty one note on colors, but monitors can trick you on color.

    Of course, if you want to drive your hubby nuts, you could always go for a true French Style slipper chair like this!

    For a small table by the slipper chair to set a book or cup of tea, try something like this.

    I think it is nice. It is pretty traditional. But two of those in your spots beside fireplace would be good. Not black though. Looks like dark wood. But that is ok.
  • 9 years ago
    Thanks! I was thinking it was too dark, but I wanted a good eye on it.
  • 9 years ago
    Thoughts on the two cabinets?
  • PRO

    I love those! Are those Hooker too? I've seen them I'm pretty sure.

  • 9 years ago
    Great eye! You know your furniture. Yes, it's Hooker! I plan to put the pictures (that's too small) that was on the other wall, with its counter picture over each piece.

    Measure to make sure they fit on BOTH sides. I think the right side looks a tad more narrow than the right. Just to be sure. But I think those would be really lovely.

    Replacing the smaller pic with this one. (Much bigger)
  • PRO

    I like that a lot. Is their a companion for the other side?

  • 9 years ago
    Are you referring to the smaller pic, if so - yes.
  • PRO
    9 years ago

    Whatever you choose, of course, make them companions. Or same frames and size, to keep some continuity.

  • 9 years ago
    Thank you! You are awesome!

    I'm so sorry! I told you incorrectly. I was thinking about another set of chest. The set in the bedroom is from Uttermost.

    Uttermost is great company and I have worked with them forever. You won't be disappointed.

    Finally received my Uttermost consoles.
  • 9 years ago

    Pretty consoles, but I do not think the pictures are right for them. Do you ?

  • 9 years ago
    Any suggestions?
  • PRO
    9 years ago

    The consoles look great. Nice choice and will blend well with your other pieces. I think the pictures are hung too high. Try centering them and hanging about 5" above the consoles. I probably would have selected prints that are much larger and have more distinctive color and pulled in some of your blacks. It is OK if they overlap the pictures a little bit. Remove small items and find a couple of "greater" looking bowls for each side. Small items just look like clutter and can't be appreciated. Better on a sofa table or on a bookcase arrangement. They look like family photos? So, perhaps they can be relocated to a place where you can best appreciate them. Perhaps in master bedroom? Black framing on the pictures would be better as well, but not sure if those are temporary or permanent?

    I guess I see large mirrors over each console.
