I've attached a photo of my dining room; we have only lived in this house about a year and not in love with the color scheme here but living with it for now. And now that I look at the photo, much too busy!! And, yes, our house was built ~89, so legacy builder-grade brass chandelier will go.

I just bought the cabinet because I saw it, loved it, and that has kick-started a renaissance of this room. The next thing I am focusing on is end chairs because x back reflected in mirrored cabinet...yikes. Bought the one on left and will pick up the second (full disclosure: came from Home Goods) already having second thoughts. I love the idea of having 2 chandeliers specifically drum chandies,...but worried that all together is much too contemporary. I found this chair that is still contemporary, but has a little more of the "itional" of the "transitional" component that I shoot for. ;-) Only thing it, reviews said it was more gray than beige or cream. Still neutral?

And I will eventually do an overhaul of the colors. Love light! Love dark wood with white and lighter colors. Any advice? Which chair would you advise?
