Dorothy Draper Espana Dresser Finds A Spot

Do you remember soooooo looooong ago when I was swooning over the Dorothy Draper dresser I found?
(To see the post if you missed it, go here.)

Well, I've given in and placed it in my family room. 

I knew from the beginning that it would go well in that room. 

But, if you've been following along, my family room is very dark and has tons of
dark wood too--and a dark sofa.
I was really resisting adding more black in that room even though black is my favorite color to use.
(It's actually everywhere in my home.)

To brighten it up, I framed some orange Trina Turk fabric. 

The pattern on the fabric reminded me of modern art.  I also used a white lamp base.  The turtle is faux.  I thought that the citrine draperies would  balance out the black too.

I think that it works.  Below is the full view of the dresser which I placed to the right of the fireplace mantel.  Can I say again how much I hate that cedar wood that's everywhere?

This next image shows how it looks with my X base coffee tables that are in front of the sofa.

So, too dark?  I really love that dresser.
