I like this style of dining area. I was going to do other colors, but after deciding how to decorate the kitchen, formal living room, and family room, this will match the best. Our formal dining room also has that beautiful white paneling on the lower half of the wall, so I will only paint the top half. Since this room connects to the entry way, staircase, and formal living room, I will probably use this color throughout those areas. The family room will be a lighter shade and the kitchen more of a vanilla color. Hopefully, it will all blend well since our mail level is pretty open.
