Each pedestal is engineered for its complementing product. Hard to tell what the outcome might produce with a mix-n-match strategy. You'll likely have to fabricated a triangular corner gusset of some sorts--at all four corners--that can accommodate the connection(s) and secure the connections with a proper bolt, nut and washer assembly; including the amount of necessary fasteners (fasteners are rated for what they are chosen to perform). The gusset material is important and you can see what your big box hardware store has to offer in the way of Simpson Strong-Tie that might be used as base to start your fabrication. However, although repurposing the pedestals results in out-of-pocket savings, the final results might be disastrous in real-life and cause life-and limb consciences. I would hate to learn that the pedestals crumpled under prolonged stress at some part of the pedestal. People are free to do as they please, but my reference to the Simpson Strong-Tie products is for a reason: to see how engineering is heavily involved in these products.

Thanks, everyone! The rocker (and its sister chair) belonged to my grandmother and we just refinished them. I like the idea of a day bed facing the living room but they may be too deep. I've been looking in antique stores for a while and haven't found anything the right proportions. Maybe my husband can make something if I can buy interesting carved legs (open underneath so the radiators aren't covered). And add a lot of pillows and cushion bottom. I would love to put a kilim on the floor but we currently have a litter box under the desk and it gets messy. Our sweet, old Mabel really needs that location so for now it stays. We also need better lighting. The overhead ceiling fan light isn't good for nighttime reading. And 2 of those chairs aren't comfortable which is primarily why the room doesn't get used.

First, I'd trim out the front door with casing to make it more finished looking. Shall I assume that was removed during your kitchen remodel? If so, call the contractor back to finish the door. As for the space between the door and the counter, as well as the plant/mirror area near the stairs, I'd get large framed pieces of art. Because you have a French-inspired hood for your range, maybe vintage French posters would be fun. Something like these, perhaps?

Check into Accoya real wood products. Its a pickled wood and that non-toxic process makes it impervious to termites and water. I used their dyed gray wood so when you cut it, the color is through out, so you can lightly sand any scratches that may happen. It never needs treating, staining, painting or maintenance with a 50 yr warranty. It will always be gray. Here it is on my house. It's one of my favorite things on my remodel.
