I need to see pics of the whole space and please tell me the drapes are tied up for painting and really they come off for painting . Does the rug have olive green in it ? IMO if you paint the chair rail the same as the walls wht is the point of having it. That is what people do to make a chair rail disappear. BTW I really dislike chandeleirs that light the ceiling so post a pic ogf that too. I need to aslo see that white piece you are talking about.

Yes the drapes are tied for painting.i posted the light i bought it has not been installed yet. i did have a sample and moved it for 24 hours. wondering if the tan is throwing it off.

What I don't understand is why the chair rail is only on one wall + the window wall? and you're only painting the walls with the chair rail? In this room I would paint all walls the same colour and if you're going for a chair rail I would install on all walls. If you paint it the same green as the walls as Patricia said it will disappear. You can install moulding under the chair rail and paint the bottom part in white.

Clearing the room completely allows for a real evaluation the results are only as good as the prep.

I guess I understand you wanting to keep the baseboard white (too much work or like the look against the floor?) But, the high contrast of the white/light trim is alot of contrast to a deep colored wall.

Yes, a dining room, but you want it to be a place you want to linger. You asked for suggestions, are you merely looking for validation that you have made a good decision?

Original color IMO is too green

The other paint color might be a bit too light

The same color but in a darker shade might be perfect.

Beverly i love this last color! what is it do you think?

I think you are on the right track using a darker green tone...you have just pick a couple which don't work...good thing you stopped. As said here, get a sample of my suggestion and paint two coats and a large square so you can get the right feel. I love this color:

See how it blends in with your draperies and how the window light compliments it?

It also a winner with the white accent table.

Thought I had posted another response regarding the color.

Honestly it is not a bad color if the color works well with the other colors in your color palette.

I used the green that was in your picture and spread it onto the walls.

The photo you shared is much greener than the SW Website shows as Olive Grove, but the internet is about the worst way possible to view colors.

Below are three rows - top row are my colors, middle row are my sister's colors and the bottom row is my sister-in-laws colors.

I added the Olive Grove from the SW website as a background.

Olive Grove would be lovely in my sister's home (middle row) and could be used in my sister-in-laws home (bottom row), but may be too dark. Having an Olive Grove room in my home (top row) would be a disaster.
