Pine Dining Furniture

just thought I;d ask as it's obviously made of wood. Treated and stained pine.
Our furniture cost a lot of money £2000 in total as it is real solid pine and treated and stained. It is no cheap tat!

You would need it to be checked by customs and quarantine before it would be allowed in. Australia does not want woodworm, death watch beetle or any nasty wood diseases is doesn't have already. That being said, the probability that you will have any problems is almost nil. The furniture that is almost always stopped from coming in is cane furniture. You can check what is allowed and what isn't at the Customs and Quarantine information page here:

Jason with www.LogFurniturePlace.com provides a closer look at the Nature's Twist Log Dining Table in this video. The rustic dining table ...

I love my 1922 Prairie Craftsman home and plan to redo the Dining Room soon........just need to know what tones of furniture and colors would be best with the old pine floors.
I am not asking for a style of furniture, but rather, the type of wood to use ; ie dark, medium, or light tones...such as walnut, maple, mahogany, etc. What would look best with the warmth of the old pine floors?

I am not sure if you meant to say style of furniture. Amish or American style. A table with tapered legs, a trestle, a pedestal base or farmhouse will work in stains (tone) shown in the link below. Paint colors were typically earth colors, such as green, brown or ocher.

I'm looking to buy and new dining room set. I like wood but the last set we had was very soft. I think it was pine. Anyway I'm looking for a durable wood that would be good with a little one. Any ideas?

Oak is hard -- any wood from a tree that loses its leaves will be harder than wood from a pine or evergreen. You can also look for a "distressed" finish (not perfectly smooth to start with, but looks gently worn), or get something cheap, like at IKEA, and replace it in a couple years. Or, put pads on the chairs and a glass top on the table to keep it from getting marred. We have a glass top on our wooden table, and while I do have to clean it after every meal, I also realize that a wooden table would be just as dirty -- it's just that the dirt would hide better. (Ew.)

Good luck, and happy shopping. : )

i dont want my mum to eat me alive!!

thank you

I was given this advice by a learned friend 40 years ago.
Use a hairdrier on the affected area, it drives out the trapped moisture, and it seems to work.
Don't overheat as you will soften the finish.

My dining room set is pine....kind of an orangey look. (although my husband doesn't agree with that statement.) It's light wood, brownish orange....anyway....would a gold color paint bring out the orange or tone it down?

the way to detract attention from a certain color is to use similar colors, so I think orange & gold would harmonize well. You just wouldn't want to use blue or green or something that would contrast it, because that would accentuate the orange.

play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find colors that you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family & color name, the "painted" rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:

I think "honey blush" (# 6660) might be a great choice.

You can take a photo of your house & upload it to the makeover gallery on this website:

You can get color suggestions & for $5 they'll photoshop them onto your room so that you can get an idea of what it will look like.
