Sounds like you want a more fresh modern feel? What shape is the room? If the room is long, I would not recommend round, hard to tell shape in your pictures. Post more pics. I think the drum chandelier would look modern and updated.

The room is more square- maybe a bit rectangle but not too long which is how i came up with a round table. the table fits 6 chairs around comfortable 54x54 an does have an insert. Would dark furniture with cream chairs look good or more of a linen table with cream chairs. I've seen a table in Jordan's that looks almost grey/linen wood rectange table with cream legs and chairs. Not sure which color scheme to go with. Hmmmm

Do you have any ideas for a nice drum chandelier?

I took my chandelier almost identical to yours down and painted it white, distressed it a little, and added colored shades and wrapped the chain in a ribbon to match. It looks completely different now. I love green with this brown. Any shade you like. Ballard Designs has tons of the small fabric lampshades if you decide to keep the lighting. Maybe a print on the chairs. Green and white or cream. Some artwork or displays of your favorite things- I love mismatched old china plates and they look great hung on the wall in a group. Liven it up a bit. Very pretty wallcoverings. Anything would pop right off that nice brown.

I love Ballard Designs and I too love green with with color. I was just thinking that last night. I have considered spray painting but love the dr shade look if Ivan find the right one. May consider- thanks!

You have very traditional wainscoting and damask wallpaper, I think a little traditional glam would be nice for chandelier.

You might want to attach photos or links to the tables you are considering.

Judy M, I love your chairs & they work with your new design. Table as is too small, are there leaves?

This is from GILT - great selection of lighting at reasonable prices here, on Wayfair, Hautelook & Joss & Main. These are sites where I find best bargains and best service.

there are a few others on Gilt that are drum style, lots on Wayfair. Have fun.

my concern re: changing your furnishing to cream would be possible clash with your new look. The panelling is lovely & if painted white, white & cream don't always work well together. White ends up looking dirty, whereas black makes white crisper looking, plus you have black print in your wallpaper don't you?

Or you could paint the furiture that you already have and change the wall paper to something lighter instead
Would that be okay ?

I have kids that can stain fabric chairs- but here are my furniture choices I was thinking of...

If can change the furniture then change it to that but not the ivory chairs then :) a darker fabric or one with some sort of pattern on it will hide some stains.

I like the oval table and the buffet, worry that china cabinet is too big.

What size is the room?

I can't change room colors- just finished the wallpaper. Only furniture and light. I love the chandelier you posted.

China cabinet is the same width as the buffet and depth. Not very big which is what appealed to me. Are the tobacco colors good with my room colors though???

Okay then we will work with the wall paper

You can also have the fabric you choose coated with a non porous film almost like oilcloth. Not sure of cost...

Scotch Guard will work thanks for reminding me about it Lilalolo:) I have purchased large table napkins added some lace all around them and use them as seat covers ,trow in the washer and itron them ,my chairs are ivory and one of them got some chocolate milk on it ,thanks to that and the spray it was easy to clean .

Okay for the chairs


for the walls
I would use silver framed pictures I'm going according to your style in wall paper



Keep in mind that it will look dark ,you need to add glitter ,its almost like looking inside a jewel box :)

Oops !! I just re read your question the chairs are leather :) good easy to wipe down then but no to shoes on them .

I think the table color is very nice.
I'm not sure about leather seats with damask and crystals.

Is this a room that gets a lot of use?
What about chairs with just upholstered seats. Then the seat covers can be changed as needed.

Do you have pics of the other walls in room?

But a full china cabinet takes up visual space.

What is size of room? Why overcrowd it!

What kind of window?

More shots- I could paint the table linen white I suppose- same as my trim and wainscot but I don't like the country looking chairs. The table is also a little too big which is why I liked the round one with an option to use the insert for more guests. This room doesn't get used as often as I like because I have no storage or buffet. And it's all mismatched right now. :). Hope these pictures help.

Your area carpet seems to be too small for the room.

I like the idea of the buffet with something above it (art or mirror) to break up the wallpaper.

I would also extend the width of the drapes, so just the trim and window frame is covered, to let in more light.

Ok- yes the area rug was for another room that I put in their temporarily while I figure out this room. I like the idea of upholstered chairs too, just can't seem to find a good set. Now I have to ask if you've seen some good area rus to go with damask!

Look on overstock or rugsdirect.

I like traditional so it might not be what you like, I would use an oriental type, not too dark with the linen white and brown, neutrals with a little blue and very soft without a lot of contrast in colors.

How about slipcovering the chairs in a loose, casual style and getting the table you want.

I am on a thrifty thing today. :>)

A simple fix is to remove the shades on the chandelier and switch the bulbs to Edison bulbs. There's a picture of Edison bulbs in this post:
