Walnut Dining Table Options, Prices, and Reviews

So I’m tring to decide if I should use a high quality wood laminate / engineered wood for my 1st level or go with carpet and tile combination.

The 1st level consists of a master bedroom, kitchen, hallway, laundry room, bathroom, living room and dining room (living and dining technically one room). Open concept for the most part, vaulted ceilings in living room with loft above.

Trim, doors, staircase, fireplace mantel, windows are all in a medium oak color.

Which option is best for resale AND visual appeal?

A) Master bedroom = carpet THEN Kitchen, hallway, laundry room, bathroom, living room and dining room = high quality wood laminate / engineered wood
B) Master bedroom, dining room and living room = carpet THEN Kitchen, hallway, laudry room, bathroom = neutral color tile
C) Entire lower level = high quality wood laminate / engineered wood

No matter the option above the Rec room, staircase to upper level, upper level loft, upper second and third bedrooms will all be in carpet.

If I go with a wood laminate / engineered wood which is the best option?
My Trim, doors, staircase, fireplace mantel, windows are all a medium oak color, my furniture (tables) are all dark walnut or chocolate. Couches are cream colors.

A) Closely match the floor color to the trim and window colors
B) Go with a lighter color than medium oak
C) Go with a color lighter than dark walut, but darker than medium oak
D) Switch all trim, door and windows to white and get a color slightly lighter than dark walnut

Architecture during the Colonial America

During the time that North America was being colonized, early European settlers brought various traditions of architecture from their homelands. They incorporated the styles of building in Europe to the homes in colonial America. The early architecture varied throughout many regions of the country. The houses built by British settlers in the northeastern coast vastly differentiated from the houses that the French built in the Mississippi valley.
The location of the houses had evolved from the type of climate and resources that were available. The settlers in the north regions had larger fireplaces with the chimney located in the center to spread heat evenly throughout the house due to the cold winters, whereas the southern houses had the fireplace at the end due to the humid climate. A man who came from a windy and cold part of a European region built his house low to the ground, triple the width, and without a second story. Those who came from salubrious climate produced a liking with a loft or a second story. This is one of the main reasons why the types of houses varied across the regions.
The most distinctive type of houses was of the Georgian styles which were inspired by the renaissance rediscovery of Greece and Rome. This particular style reflected wealth and cultivated beauty of the eighteenth century. The southern regions of colonial America are where most of these designs of houses were found. The basic features that define a Georgian style house are its square symmetrical shape made from brick and stone, central arched door, and several double-hung windows aligned on its first and second floor. Two chimneys would be located exactly across from each other. The houses were mostly built of bricks with some trimmings of wood. The overall house was painted white or sometimes in crème color. The main door usually composed of a decorative crown that gave it an elegant look. All of these proportioned features of the home were topped off with a gabled or flat roofs made from bricks.
Upon entering the main doorway, you would find a hallway that leads to the stairway to the second floor. The second floor consists of all of the bedrooms which were paneled floor to ceiling with painted pine. The first floor usually has a spacious living room, formal dining room, and some have a family room. A fireplace would be seen at the end of the house to deplete the heat generated in the summer by the constant need for cooking fires. The floors were made of wooden planks and were waxed, which gave it an overall glossy appearance. The walls were decorated with large mirrors that reflected light that came in through the large windows. Family portraits would be hung in each corner. The colors of the furniture were warm and inviting throughout the entire house. Most of the furniture’s were made of damask, silk, velvet, and chintz. Most of the furniture was imported in the houses of the wealthy. Almost all of the imported furniture was made from walnut and mahogany. A wing chair and a tilt-top table were spotted near the corners or centers of living rooms.The backside of the house had a classic southern porch. The patio was built with wood, wicker, and maple.
These were the Georgian style houses that the wealthier colonies lived in. Whereas the poorer colonist’s houses were usually unpainted, made from wood, single story, and was furnished with simpler furniture. The average colonists made their furniture with wood from nearby forests. The most common furniture in an average colonist Georgian homes consisted of a wooden table or two, shelves, long benches, and a few stools. Eating utensils were scarce in the kitchen. Farmers would provide the family with knifes, forks, and spoons that were made from bone, wood, or iron. The richer colonists provided their families with many different kinds of foods such as, Beef, pork, and other meats were produced on the place. The lower class had most of the same diet, but in a smaller quantity.
Despite all the time working hard labor, the early colonists found plenty of time for games, socializing, tastes, and religious activities. Most of the boys participated in games that tested their skills like racing, swimming, wrestling, jumping, and shooting contests. Most families homes had billiard tables and shuffleboards. Younger children enjoyed playing with marbles, tops, and “pinching pennies”. The more wealthy families had occasional house parties, suppers, and other festivities, but dancing was the favorite of all. They would dance for hours during get-togethers. Religious services were held in private homes in early settlements until church buildings started being constructed. Like many homes of colonial America, the size, structure, style, and interior furnishing of the church buildings varied throughout many regions of the country.

thank you guys for your help!!! you guys are the best. bless you

when you come in our home, you enter a foyer with a hall jetting out to the left. on the right is the dining room and in front is a family room/kitchen/breakfast area. its all sort of "open concept" with carpet-floor determining the spaces. i am horrible with color combinations and decorating. all my walls are beige and carpet is brown/beige. my sofa (sectional) is also beige (camelback) leather and coffee table and entertainment center are a dark walnut. I NEED SOME COLOR!. i tried to get ideas from websites but you have to pay to look at pictures. i need some good ideas. i think i am just all left brained. please help.

Hi, I’m going to be painting my living room soon and need some help choosing a color. It’s a huge living room, with light hard wood floors (maple) with lots of light coming in. My couch, loveseat, and chair are a sage green. My entertainment center is a dark walnut color. Coffee tables are a maple color, which I’m thinking of maybe staining a dark walnut to match with the entertainment center. Part of the living room, I am using as the dining area (next to the kitchen). The whole dining area has brown/beige tones, glass table top. I’ve been thinking of painting the living room a Sand color, and maybe painting the dining area wall an accent color, but I am unsure. This is going to be my first time living by the beach and would like to bring some of the beach inside. I’m not afraid of color at all. Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I’ve been racking my brain for the past week about this. Thanks!

I just moved to a bigger house and I’m upgrading my home entertainment system. I got a nice, new Marantz 7.1 receiver my old Bose acoustamess teeny weeny speakers sound like crap (they always did but that is beside the point) in the bigger room. My friend Boris (yeah that is really his name) said that his brother built his own speakers and they sound better than anything he has ever heard and that is saying a lot because he has really expensive Mission speakers. I have a pretty much complete wood shop but know nothing about building speakers. I built my dining room table and china cabinet from solid walnut. What’s the best wood? Where do I get the woofers and tweeters? How do I know how big to make the boxes?

what kinds of decorating should we put in these rooms any thing will be appreciated!! thanks in advanced! (pillows, candals, curtains, etc!)all paint is benjamin moore brand

ANY LITTLE IDEA WILL BE HELPFUL TOO! THANKS SO MUCH

I have an open space family/kitchen combo (no half wall separating the family/kitchen.

1) My first question is, what can you suggest for wall color, and should I use one color for both rooms? Also, if I want to use 2 different colors, should I build a half wall between the family room and kitchen to create a division or that would still be considered 1 room? The other thing is the flooring. My family room flooring is carpet and kitchen is vinyl but both are taupe color. Given this should I separate the 2 rooms and should I then build a half wall between 2 rooms to create 2 different spaces. what colors then you would recommend for these. I have attached an image.

2) My kitchen cabinets are orangee oak and the countertop has flecks of black, taupe and orange. But you cannot really notice the orange flecks. My appliances are black/stainless steel combo. I have silver finish on my accent lights and chandelier lights on my kitchen nook which looks more contemporary.

My family room has khaki/green colors on the sofa and the entertainment center/bookcases and accent table are orangee as well (same color as kitchen cabinets). This leads to my second question, if I want to change the color of my furniture in my family room into dark walnut by staining my existing furniture, would the entire space still be unified since kitchen cabinets and breakfast nook dining table/chairs are lighter and orangee? . Do I still have to keep them unified if I paint 2 different colors in the 2 rooms?

The third question is, I am not sure if I have traditional kitchen and a comtemporary family room. Can you mix both if they are an open space or it would only be okay to do this if I create a half wall between 2 rooms. I’m thinking of going contemporary on my family room with the furniture pieces since my existing sofa and the 1 1/2 chair I have are reclining and have a geometric pattern. so I would think they are more contemporary than traditional.

Hopefuly, I didn’t confuse you or overwhelm you with my questions.

We have cherry cabinets in the kitchen with new venetian gold counters. On the island we have a dark brown counter. The floors in our house are a dark wood (not sure what the color is) and we have black walnut trim and staircase. The walls of the stair case are ivory, and the rest of the walls in the dining room are a buttery light yellow. I have a table I’d like to paint, but I can’t choose a color. The whole house is done in a yellow, olive green, cranberry red color scheme. Originally I was thinking black, but I’m worried it will clash with the dark brown island counter which it will be near. Now we’re thinking the cranberry red. What do you think? Which color would look best with our color scheme and the dark brown countertop?
