I'd suggest you ( don't lynch me for suggesting this ) paint the table white and buy some queen Ann chairs and paint them white too !! Obviously DONT do this if it's a valuable antique !!! But it can look pretty cool ( in my opinion ) see a google image I snapped ...

The wood of the chairs should match the wood of the table. You could find suitable chairs by looking for that wood with the words upholstered dining chairs on an Internet search engine.

The trim in your rooms is outstanding. To "tie the rooms together", the one thing I would do is install chair rail the same color as the existing trim. The horizontal lines of chair rail will move the eye around the room and into the next room creating a flow. Chair rail is relatively inexpensive, easy to install and would be wonderful compliment to your existing beautiful trim.

Thanks guys, in my own head I was thinking mismatched chairs, maybe painted in a neutral shabby chic kind of way, but I'm really impressed with both the ghost chair and the tobias as it makes it all about the table but definitely puts a modern twist on it. Any other photos out there of the ghost or tobias in situ?

Is the chandelier thing seeming a bit small for the room or is it just me? Given that your walls are plain, the sofa is plain how about a patterned rug? Do you like Persian rugs? I find that dark green wainscotting too heavy and would paint it a lighter color. Given you have just moved in I assume you are planning to be there a while. If you like traditional style do you want a fairly safe color scheme re walls and curtains, keeping future resale in mind. Or are u happy to decorate according to your tastes? The mirror seems a bit small to me.

fragle0 ... congratulations on the new addition to your family. Have been following your lovely changes. You probably won't have time to work on the decor for a while. Just wanted to suggest that you try pulling the nesting tables forward to be more in line with front of the chairs & placing your floor lamp to the back of them. This will give a bit more light at night for reading in that area.Also switching the plant by the fireplace & the one on the corner by the sofa.

If the kitchen is modern I'd go for painted wood/ coloured chairs in either a scandi design or perhaps mid century. The chairs atm kind of obscure the table. I must admit I struggle with bar stools, I've been after ones for ages. I would decide on chair style first maybe and then go from there

I agree, I would paint the table and chairs, Annie Sloane has some amazing colour's and ideas, I also like the idea of different chair designs around a table. Add's much more interest.

I would consider Louis (and Victoria) Ghost chairs, either in one colour or a mix, Works well as a bridge between a traditional style table and a modern kitchen.

If your table is vintage or antique, don't paint it! You will devalue it and painting is just a current fashion trend. A few years from now it will look dated. Instead, find interesting chairs, either modern like in the photo above or an assortment of high back chairs. Another chair style is a fully upholstered chair in your choice of fabric, perhaps a pattern or strip to bring colours into the room. The table has a deep apron, so take care with the height of the chair seat; you don't want to have your thighs wedged under the apron.

It doesn't go too well with your kitchen as is. I would paint it (only if its not valuable) or go for something in a more modern style. I don't mind the mix of old and new but there is too much difference here.

We make and supply dining chairs either fully upholstered or with seats upholstered and the rest of the chair show wood,let me know how much you are looking to spend.Also a valid point has been raised about the depth of the apron let me have the height of this from the floor.

As you say the current chairs shout at the current table. Do you love the table? If you do then I would suggest chairs which look more comfortable - upholstered seats - and match the legs of the chairs with the table. It all looks at bit sparse at the moment, and hopefully the fridge/freezer is not there permanently, as you will find it very difficult to use within the confines of a kitchen. I would love to see more photos as you also need to match the table/chairs etc with the kitchen which presumably is just outside the photos. What sort of kitchen is it etc? Photos would be great, as I suspect there is a larger problem here as well.
