    Sorry, I don't see a clear wall to put the paneling on? I guess you could build a nice armoire to store things in.

      Adding upholstered cornice boxes over the windows would add some color, texture and drama to the walls without blocking the natural light... just a thought.

      I think the table position is just right. When is the family occasion coming up? How much time do you have?

      How are the kitchen and dining room connected? Is it a cased opening? If not....not sure if the panelling will look right, because it has nothing to return in to. You have big, beautiful windows, if you chose some long window treatments to frame them, it would define your dining area and draw attention to the windows. It would also soften the table area. How about a sisal under the table and some cushions on the chairs that would pick up the curtains? I would center the light fixture as well.

      Thanks so much,it is a. Cased opening as the dining room is an extension.Love the rug and cushion ideas.I have cream wooden blondes on the windows,so I thought cream ravelling would blend in and soften the drabness?

      The panelling would provide a more 'formal' look.

      From what I see, you don't have much wall to do paneling/wainscoting. I would just paint.
      Looks like you need some kind of unit to put you cd's on and stero equipment on. Take a lot of that stuff off the window ledges. Prop up some pillows. Flowers look nice. You have a lovely home - just declutter a little.

      Sweetie, you have too much clutter around to see beyond... clear out all the stuff, then look at it with fresh eyes. You've got a nice space to work with, Great dining set! clean lines... don't need to mix it up with paneling... the light over the table doesn't work with it.... look for something that goes with the existing theme...

      Hey, we ALL have clutter issues, If you have storage in a basement area or garage, or, rid yourself of un-needed things. You can buy or build some storage cabinets...or, if you can't let go, get a storage rental. On the lighting, I would suggest a clean, simple pendant or something kind of modern with a shade... look on this site under casual dining lights for some inspiration.

      So that we can get a better idea what colors do you like? Is the family room adjoining the kitchen on the other side? If so what colors do you have in there?

      If you want custom cream panelling built from scratch, it is likely to take you more than three weeks to line up a contractor, get it built and then painted. If you want to use beadboard (thin, lightweight, cheap) you can do it yourself if you are good at the small precision cuts around the wood window trim and behind the radiators. You can get a custom built wood cover with doors for your tv or use the painting over tv disguise made with hinges.

      I think the room is beautiful as it is. Spend some money on a truly beautiful, impressive chandelier, have it centered over the table. If you want to impress relatives at an event, the chandelier is the way to go. Clean the windows for extra sparkle.

      If you are in the US, try Home Decorators http://www.homedecorators.com for DVD storage cabinets that are closed.

      I would not get a rug for this room unless I was ready to get it cleaned frequently and I could find one that looked good with dog hair on it and did not show stains. A good quality, highly patterned wool Oriental rug will do that job nicely. Such a rug is an investment and may take longer than three weeks to find.

      I think you could find ready made curtains anywhere from restoration to bed bath and beyond. Hang them from just below the ceiling. The room needs to be softened and defined. I think something like this will give the biggest change. I'm not a huge fan of rugs under dining tables for cleaning reasons. http://room-decorating-ideas.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/dining-room-curtains-ideas3.jpg not sure if this will come up as a link or a jpeg.

      I think a low pile rug under the dining table would help anchor it.

      Is that a wall mounted TV in there? I would be tempted to remove it, especially if you have an adjoining family room for TV watching? If you move it you might have space for a nice narrow storage/display piece on that wall
      There seems to be neither time nor space to put up paneling per say.
      But, what about just adding a chair rail at the height of the windows middle opening and painting a nice cream below it?
      For a more formal feel, chair covers.
      I ditto what everyone else said about clutter and the photo box is much too wide/big for where it is on the wall.
      The windows are wonderful, how they tilt out. Nice feature. After you declutter, that window ledge is a gold mine for some artful plant arranging and some other stately but simple groupings. I could see some much larger plants ... say a stand of Sansavaria in a box planter? http://preview.turbosquid.com/Preview/Content_2010_05_14__15_21_06/sansevieria_trifasciata-tgp.jpged4d7dd1-39e1-4d6a-bae1-558b1ac95b52Larger.jpg
