Decorating Dilemma:
Thank you Rebecca and we are happy to have you as a loyal fan! First, we suggest using decorative panels instead of functional drapery, which would keep the window treatments within the framing (about six inches on either side) to highlight the high ceilings and create a softening effect. There’s also the possibility of wallpapering the living room and kitchen. Framing wallpaper panels around the archway can also add a decorative touch.
As far as the dining set, maybe think about a racetrack-shaped table, either classic or modern in style and a marble or marble-like material for the tabletop. Colorful chairs would also look great. Your choice of table may influence the selection of a new light fixture, like a more organic or circular shape to complement the dining table.
