Formal Dining Furniture

I have an unfurnished formal dining room adjacent to the foyer of my house. I would like to furnish it however my family resists the idea of getting formal dining furniture since we do not entertain much. I'm not sure how I should furnish it otherwise. Would it look odd to make it a playroom for my kids or a library room? Please help.

When you walk into my house, I have two rooms to the right. the back room is the dining room, and the front room is supposed to be a sitting room. I turned it into a library, so it is the first thing you see when you walk in. I wouldn't turn it into a kids room, or you would be constantly picking it up anytime someone wanted to come over to your house. A library is a nice and easy to keep picked up. Good luck!

We want to make our formal dining room into a little sitting area to smoke cigars and drink wine. Can anybody give me some links for some creative ideas? I'll take furniture links as well.

I have light oak furniture. I figured a dark color would look nice but I can't decide on a color. Your opinions please?
I have crown molding and chair rails throughout my dining room too.

How about "sapphire" by sherwin williams?

if you want a second color to go below the chair rail, then I'd use the "Honey Blush" color that they suggest.

My style has changed since I bought this china cabinet, table and chairs but they are in great condition. Not cheap furniture and I am alittle scared that I could really screw this up. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. I will have to reupholster the chairs so any tips on that would be helpful too. I think i will use an oil based paint...but what about a primer or a sealer?

sand, or degloss the existing finish. prime with a bonding/stain blocking primer, tinted to deep gray, then apply 2 to 3 coats of paint. spraying it would give the best finish, but if you must brush and or roll, add penetrol to oil based paint or floetrol to latex, to provide a self leveling component( to reduce brush marks).
honestly, i would get pricing from a local industrial painter who could spray it all. you would get the best finish that way, and it would be no work for you.
