I really like the black and white picture idea for the dining room. I have been looking at colors for this room. the olive green I've been experimenting with are a shade darker then this. a little more dramatic. I'll post some color varients in the next few days to see what you like. I'll also save the varients, including this one in the virtual dining room. I just need to figure out a way to have you view them as we move along. Once you've chosen then colors then the next step is furniture selection. By the way I love the idea of the darker rich colored floors like in the picture. Actually those are the floors I put in your virtual house
