I looks good. Possibly paint the walls a soft muted sage. Please lower all of your wall art.

The long empty wall would look nice with a buffet or console table and some art as well.

Yes...a larger rug, for sure. For the wall art, the center of the middle item should be at eye level meaning about 57" to 60" from the floor. That's possibly close to what they are in phuninthesun's photo. Then you can add the sconces.

Is there a chandelier? I don't think a dining room is a "dining " room without one.

SW Clary Sage or Softened Green (the top two below)

How about some real art, like paintings or prints? Something with a little interest that doesn't look like there are 100 more of them on the shelves at Hobby Lobby?

Definitely a bigger rug and NOT a shag under a dining table. I can only imagine the crumbs...

A little drama...

Grover, lovin' the addition of Daisy (Scooby?) to every photoshop!!!!! Hope that trend continues!!

Me too...love the dog!

drdeb and chloe, that's actually Grover. He's haunting me. Sadly, I lost Daisy three weeks ago. Scooby's the only one left, and he's not well-behaved enough yet to bring into my Photoshops. Maybe by next year...

This space will look a lot better if we remove the big purple box.
