Thank you.
Yay! I am so happy with the responses and advice. I think #2 was the winner. Now for my decision......take more photos (this is why Mr. French hates helping me make decisions)!!! Actually, there is a reason for this: I love #2, but feel as if I also received some insightful tips from everyone. I decided to apply some of that advice, pack up Mable (that's the name of my camera, totally insane, I know) and go out and take some new photos. I am completely happy with my new choices. The pretty pink flowers are still in the mix, along with some new Dogwood shots.
I really have been studying my cave of a dining room and believe that the new photos could really brighten it up. It is sad to say, but our dining room is actually more of a large hallway. Hopefully, one of these will help. I am either going to go with canvas or a gator board option. On top of everything else I may paint the room white! Stop me now before my head pops off! I will keep you posted.
The photos(it will be a surprise as to which one I choose):
