More House Pictures - Dining Room

So here is the dining room. Very exciting, no? There is an awful lot of beige in that picture. Beige everywhere! Oddly enough, the beige in the living room isn't the same beige in most of the dining room, which I am pretty sure isn't the same beige as the wall not pictured in the photo below.

The dark wood floors on this level of the house are awesome, and I love the trim and the old light fixture in the room - but the beige has got to go. So I am thinking...



A classic table in a dark wood. Nice and sturdy, and surely more stable than the wobbly IKEA wonder we are using now.

We will most likely use the chairs we already own for the time being, but eventually I would like something with a bright cushion - like these:



Or maybe painted a bright colour that would tie into the kitchen...



Maybe some pretty window decorations to brighten things up?



I really want a china cabinet, with excellent glass doors, but maybe in the same colour as the table, or a shade that matches the chairs instead of white.



I'd like to find some vibrant table linens, something that we can tie into the kitchen "decor". I love the idea of even having "decor". How high-falutin' of us.



I fell in love with these bright little vases, I think they would make excellent centerpieces, and be a fun accent to the mismatched china idea.



All this thinking is terribly tiring, I must admit. I have been pouring over home design websites for days now, obsessively looking at photo galleries. I can't stop - it's a sickness. It doesn't matter that I have already looked at 3700 bathroom pictures, I must look at more, more, MORE. The next one might contain the most amazing towel storage idea ever. (Trust me when I say that there are only so many ways to configure a bathroom and you really don't have to look at every picture ever posted to the internet. You just don't.) Once I regain my strength I will regale you with tales of my wedding guest weekend and the story how I became incapacitated by a fancy pants party dress.
