To Keep Or Not Keep The Dining Table - BEFORE + AFTER

Dining Room - BEFORE.  This dining room appears to have multiple personalities - non of which really get along well.  A collision of different styles and periods that just do not belong together.  All of these styles diminish the architectural voice - barely audible at this point.  The space is being silenced by the furniture.  

Dining Room - AFTER.  The dining room begins to breathe by eliminating the black lacquered and blue wing-back chairs and adding a classic white modern armless chair.  The traditional Chinese carpet is replaced with a simple cream colored broad loom custom cut to fit the space.  Original glass and steel modern dining table is kept but accessorized with contrasting organic elements - rustic wood containers.  The architecture is more vocal now - understood are the subtleties and nuances of the architectural details that before were overpowered by the ill-suited furnishings.
