Hey Houzers! I need your help again. I am still in the process of updating my dining room and I would love your opinions. recently painted my dining room table skirt, legs, and chairs black. I really love it (thank you for the idea). Now, I'm ready to update the curtains, sideboard, and chandelier but have a few questions.

Chandelier: The current chandelier is bronze with dingy white shades. It's ready for an update. I found two that I really like (pictured below). If I had to choose between the two, I'd say my favorite is the black. I picked the brushed nickel because it's what I have throughout my house. The dining room is located right next to the kitchen. My kitchen has brushed nickel cabinet hardware and light fixtures. Is it okay to mix metals? What do you think of the chandeliers?

Curtains: Quinn Basketweave, rod pocket curtains from JCP in ivory or cool white. Curtains will be hung ceiling to floor. I think the final decision will have to wait until the room is painted.

Sideboard: Does it work with the table? Do I need a sideboard. Is there a better option?

Lastly...Paint color. White/Off White. I like SW Brushed Cotton (or something similar). I am planning on using the same color throughout the entire first floor so whichever color I choose has to work with my kitchen cabinets. The cabinets are painted BM White Dove. Any color recommendations?

Below are a few pictures. I am open you recommendations and ideas. Is this going to give me enough of an update. I think my overall house style is traditional although I am drawn transitional design style.
