Hello. Every time I've asked for help here, I get amazing ideas, so I thought I'd try again. :) We are building a new home and my dining room has 12 ft. ceilings. I'm really not a fan of them, but my husband wanted them so we compromised and have them in the front of the house. What I did not consider is how small my 1940's vintage dining room furniture is going to look in this room now. I have a depression era dining room set that belonged to my great grandmother on my mother's side and a great uncle on my dad's side of the family (great uncle sold it to my great grandmother). I cherish the furniture so it's definitely staying. The table and buffet/server will be okay, but the hutch already looked very small in my former dining room with 9 ft. ceilings. How in the world can I make this look good in a dining room with 12 ft. ceilings?

The first picture shows a bleached wood cabinet. It was in this spot that I had the vintage hutch, but it looked ridiculously small there. I moved it to the hallway/foyer area as shown in the second picture.

The second picture I'm sharing shows the furniture and in the background near the stairs, you will see the piece that is in question. I moved it to a hallway because it looked so tiny in the dining room. However, in the house we are building, there is no good hallway or foyer area to relocate it to.

I look forward to your suggestions.
