I think your current chairs are stately and modern from how they are presented in the picture. They give the table presence. Wish we could see more of the room, but what we do see is excellent.

half bath...rearranged!, This little half bath had to be altered a bit to make way for a door to the new laundry. The original sink had to be moved so we built a little alcove in the wall (which was old closet space) to make room for the sink and vanity. I tiled the sink area with a tumbled stone tile with glass., Bathrooms Design

Happy Laundry/Mud Room!, My new laundry/mud room!! This use to be a covered, open deck area. The floor is now a concrete slab that has been stained and sealed and we added a door to the outside. We added a small covered porch outside too. Ya know, one of those "small easy projects"!, Other Spaces Design

Loose Tile = Changed style!!, I went to re-caulk my guest bath tub and discovered I had loose tiles...and behind them, water! So an unexpected bathroom make-over had to happen! The tub got completely re-tiled in travertine and glass/metal border, then the countertop didnt match! So out with the old and dated and in with more travertine and glass. Then the cabinets needed painted, so out with the white and in with a super dark brown! Alot of work for a few loose tiles! :~), Bathrooms Design

Spring Dining Room, Emboldening our dining room with bright orange paint and vivid damask patterns gave fresh life to an old room. As spring blues replace winter reds and flowers take the place of candles, the mood of the room shifts dramatically from cozy hibernation to airy exuberance., Dining Rooms Design

The Mermaid, The focal point in my dining room is the art installation on the feature wall. The Mermaid is a hand painted shower curtain that I bought at a local crafts fair with the intention of framing it. It cost less that $60 and makes a huge impression when you enter my home., Dining Rooms Design

50 shades of grey, Each piece in this room was bought used and repurposed. The Buffet was a vintage piece that has been painted and accented with grey and silver. The China hutch was purchased used and an artist touched up the piece using silver, pewter and cream. She also painted a vine design on the piece.
The mirrored chest was bought used. The Mirror over that piece and lamp is new. The Painting "Lady in White was painted by me 30 years ago. The mirrors and accent pieces are garage sale pieces that I painted silver. The large Snail named Aunty Sue is from my best friend. The Walls are a dark grey. I do intend to add more art work in time. The table is rod iron and glass and was given to me along with the chairs that I painted and recovered in black and white toile. The rug is several shades of grey and is a shag bought at Home Depot. Most items in the china hutch and on the buffet are from Craig's list or garage sales. This room was the living room and I switched rooms since I entertain a lot and needed a larger dining area. The Chandelier was missing pieces so I got it at a discount. I replaced the missing pieces with Christmas decorations from Pier one. I still need to replace one strain of beads. Not sure what to do about window treatments for sliders? Ideas are needed. Thank you
