Walnut Dining Room Furniture

The rest of the house has been painted this very light pale yellow. When you walk in the front door there is a double door width opening to our living room on the right. Just beyond it is a double door width opening to our dining room. So you can see it from the living room. Our dining room has a white chair rail & the bottom half of it is that pale yellow color throught the rest of the house. I'd like to eventually get walnut/white furniture for the dining area.
We have a modern/contemporoary style & a red sectional in our living room. I was thinking of painting the dining room top half a dark red (not bright, I guess with brown mixed in) & the bottom half white w/ a white chair rail. I was concerned of having too much red tones in these areas. Would it make us feel tense or angry? Or would it flow nicely. I also considered a sage green or orange? It's just such a scary decision for me since we don't have a lot of $ to redo it if ugly. Also have khaki carpet in there.

Red is a warm color, so it will speed up your blood pressure just a little. Orange makes you want to eat, so you might try an orange-red shade, then paint the chair rail and the bottom half off-white. Those colors should work very well with a walnut table.

Building chairs for rustic solid walnut dining room table How to build chairs www.areafurnishings.com Jeb Byrnes

My dining room is painted a light ivory color above chair rail w/ cream colored bottom & white trim 'squares' below the chair rail. The trim is all painted white. The trim work is very elaborate. I have ivory Lenox Laurel Leaf table linens, and white china with gold piping. Dark walnut furniture. And one window; 36x84. I would like an elegant drape to tie in all of these ivory & cream colors, but only have about $200 to spend. Any suggestions? I would really appreciate them :) I am going crazy trying to find something!

I would get a nice rod and a length of rich colored fabric(deep green, gold or burgandy) and swag it over the window. This site has some good/easy ideas....or just google....elegant no-sew window treatments
good luck

All welded 18-ga. tubular steel frame
Walnut-grain surfaces

The suite includes a buffet, a two piece lighted china closet, an oval table with two leaves, six chairs and two captain's chairs with the original upholstery. It is either mahogany or walnut (I am not sure). It is from 1970 and is in excellent condition.

well White is an excellent brand, high end.Today that set might cost $15k. In 1970 it probably cost $2000.your not going to get more than the original cost .I'd guess $1200.

Okay so here is the hard part, I have an open floor plan. My dining room flows right into my living room, with a half wall that goes into my kitchen. I have a autumn orange sofa with a Sage green love seat. (I swear it doesn't look like the 60's). My kitchen is a light apricot, we have a walnut wood dining table with a rug that has the orange and green that is my furniture, a beige and a cranberry color. We have white wooden blinds, so no drapes as of yet. Can you please help, I am soo lost!

Pick a neutral color for the walls, and keep them all the same. It's hard for me to figure without actually seeing the floor plan -- seeing where the walls meet or where there are corners, etc.
I was going to suggest using a tone-on-tone white-wash stripe on one wall -- let's say either the one big wall or the shorter wall into the kitchen (though I'd prefer it in the dining or living room area since it's more formal of a look). It could be a white wash wide stripe over a cream/tan wall -- or a lighter cream over a darker cream, you get the idea. That way, it provides a textural feel -- it breaks up the flatness of the space and makes it more cozy.
Also, think about large pieces of wall art to hang -- maybe even something sculptural, like metal/antique, or a collection of some sort.
You could define a section of wall space for let's say the dining room by using decorative molding where you frame out a section of wall -- you can find these at the hardware stores. And, you can paint them whatever trim color you're using. You could add a tone-on-tone wallpaper inside the frames, and then hang a pretty, large mirror with an interesting frame that you could also paint to match the trim.
Don't forget the ceiling -- where you have light fixtures hanging, add some interest by using the medallions.
Keep the colors unified throughout -- and you can add/switch in a different third accent color, like you did with the cranberry. That's great.
Try something bold on the drapes for the large space -- like a bold multi-color stripe.
