I like the contrast, too. I think you need to paint the panels white, however. They are very distracting. I would also like to see two paintings in the tone of your hutch and walls on either side of the piece.

You might try painting the insides of the glass doors a white to match your other trim to lighten it up and add some contrast. It needs some splash. Have mirror cut to fit the back wall of the upper cabinet inside for sparkle. Install mirror cut to fit under the hutch top to reflect your accessories and add sparkle. Try accessorizing in everything white and mercury silver and you might see it come to life. Good luck.

I love the combo I see going in your room now. It will look differently, too, when the room gets fully dressed.

very nice ,once you have some art and the table and chairs everything will fall into place ,add touches of black ,for example on the china cabinet handles .

I think that white is too stark ,I would rather go with what is already on there ....cream I think .

It looks like two colours: the moulding is whiter and inside is cream?

I like a russet orange like SW Copper Mountain for your upper wall, leaving the wainscoting as is:

Amy I like that :)

You definitely need to paint the walls because the cool and warm clashes... like beige and gray? Just go to any paint shop with a picture and bring home a lot of paint swatches so you can see them in the true lighting on site. You will know when you see it.

I think a soft gray/blue would look nice.

Try some art like iamjudy suggested before you do any painting to your gorgeous hutch or your wall. Sometimes the simplest ideas work the best! :)

Thanks for all your suggestions! I do realize that it matches really well... But I'm just not a fan. When I ordered the hairs, I thought they were gray and yellow. I like the idea of a blue gray.... That is more my style. I cans till return the chairs, but I really like the pattern and the price was right. Also- I already had the idea of painting below the molding white. All the trim in the house was just freshly painted behr ultra white. (Previous owners did it right before going on market) we've been in the house 6 weeks, and I'm itching to Change the paint colors! -

libbyhart, may I make one more suggestion? Keep the chairs and when you find your perfect dining set, use them for the end chairs. Keep the side chairs wood. :)

Thanks! I think i will keep the chairs....I bought some knobs at Hobby Lobby today- what do you all think if the finished product ??

Looks great!

Love it! Can't wait to see how you dress it all up!
