I'm thinking about buying a house that has beautiful dark wood original trim around the windows and floor in the living room and dining room. Right now, both of those rooms are carpeted with a lightish tan color. I want to rip out the carpet in the dining room (these two rooms are next to each other) and install pergo laminate because I have dogs. I'll keep the carpet that's in the living room.
I was thinking I would go with all dark wood furniture, a dark leather couch that has a "distressed" look, and Indian Tigerwood Laminate Pergo Flooring.
Some visual examples to help:

Floors: http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=pr oductDetail&productId=235114-35938-0 80510&lpage=none
And this isn't the room, but this trim is EXACTLY the same as my house: http://pa-lvar.photos.mlsfinder.com/phot os/3/2/7/1/1/1/327111-10.jpg
Would all of this look good together? I think what's throwing me off is the dark wood trim. Everywhere I've looked the trim was white and seemed to be easier to decorate with.
I love it - all of it!

I am in the process of redoing my dining room, I am basing all my color choice around my window seat material. The material is black background with large hydrangeas in colors of salmon and alittle pink and taupe(all colors on material are muted and distressed looking) my walls are light salmon, my dining room furniture is black distressed color, my dishes that are displayed are taupe, and the floor is cherry hardwood, SO MY QUESTION is , I want to put a nice rug under the table, what color and pattern should I go with?
First of all I would go with a solid color rug I wouldn't add anything with a pattern to busy to much going on.
Taupe would work but gets dirty fast, the color of the hydrangeas is there a leaf with the flower, or just the flower, if there is a leaf, a green would work and if the rug is like a hunter green or in the green family it would pick up the window seat and tie it together.

My dining room hutch has been discolored by some candlesticks. You can clearly see rings on the wood from where the candlesticks were. Any ideas how to clean this? It has a distressed white finish.
Try the Magic Erasers - special sponges first sold under Mr Clean brand. It's like microdermabrasion for walls and furniture. It works very well. You'll find them with sponges and cleansers at the grocery store and Wal-Mart.

I have a wood dining room table and chairs, as well as a wood desk. I have attempted to paint them in the past... with the table, I just painted high gloss wall paint on it, but it looks horrible! With the desk, I sanded it first, and then painted white oil paint on it, and it also looks aweful! The paint on both pieces is peeling off in spots... If I leave something heavy on it, the paint pulls off when I lift the object off of the table/desk.
What are the correct procedures to take to ensure that my furninture's paint stays on and looks good. I'm going for the shabby chic look (not with the distressed finish). I want the painted white furniture look. I have young children, so it needs to be something that is safe for them as well.
Any ideas, tips, or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Hi I tried this before as well but my job came ut pretty good I made sure that I put a heavy coat of primer on the furniture before I painted the color that I wanted Good Luck

Lavish Traditional Style part 2 « Furniture and Design Ideas
A lavish, opulent and imposing traditional style living room is an attractive and timeless place you and your family will want to spend time. Since a living room should be a place to relax, watch TV or enjoy an evening entertaining friends, it might seem counter-intuitive to use a traditional interior design to decorate this type of living space. But there is some about traditional living room furniture that reflects Old World design principles that are classic and enduring.
The bolder the color palette of the walls and accessories the more lavish your traditional style living room will feel. Select a wall color or wallpaper pattern that will provide a dramatic backdrop to richly-toned wood accent tables, end tables and sofas . If you prefer softer shades, choose richer hues of classic neutrals such as beige, cream or silver paired with a bold colored accent wall. Another option is to paint the living room a neutral color, but wallpaper one wall as an accent point in the living room.
