Thanks for all the votes! It seems like the rectangular #1 or #5 in an oval (or maybe even round) are the front runners right now. Those are probably my front runners, too. I found another furniture store in the area that has the first table shown on their website, so I may try to get over there and take a look at the finish. I just am very reluctant to order such a large item on the internet and then have to return it!! One of my thoughts, tho, about using a rectangular coffee table is that the sofa is basically a rectangle and the rug is a rectangle, so I thought something round or oval would be better. I am totally open to changing the round, pedestal side table. I'm kinda ready for a change there as well. I have been looking on CL and so far, have come up with nothing. I'm also watching for something to come into the consignment shop where I volunteer. In the meantime, I'm going to visit a few more furniture stores and keep watching CL and consignment.

My rule of thumb when I decorated from nothing was to choose one wood tone for furniture (the wood I chose contrasted with the existing wood floor), one metal, and two colors for upholstery paint. (I chose dark brown bordering on black, chrome, a yellowish green, and robin's egg blue.) Since I wanted to open up the space, I chose glass tops for a couple tables. Since then I've acquired some pieces that strayed a bit from that plan, but I think it was a good starting place and still looks cohesive. As I said, it was just a rule-of-thumb so that I wouldn't be all over the place in my choices, not a hard-and-fast decorating rule.

If you use the leveling legs, you will almost certainly need more than 5 for a 70" cabinet. Don't skimp or your cabinets will sag. I have used leveling legs for 3 cabinets installations and love them. They are quite easy, even for long cabinets and runs of multiple cabinets. The instructions for the legs that I use say that for European-style cabinets (i.e., frameless), the legs must be mounted directly below the bearing uprights (sides and any intermediate uprights, as it sounds like you will have in the center of the 70" cabinet). In two separate applications, I installed a single frameless cabinet ~70" wide in each of two yurts, both with uneven floors. Each of those cabinets is divided into 3 equal sections: drawers in the center and a single drawer/door combo on the two sides. I used 8 levelers: 1 pair on each side (mounted as close to the edge as possible to support the vertical sides), and 1 pair directly beneath each of the two dividers. The levelers worked like a dream. I also used leveling legs on my own kitchen cabinets, though these are face-frame construction. I have 33" wide drawers, and the deepest ones (14" inches) hold my cast iron so they required adding 1"x3" struts front-to-back beneath the drawer bottoms. So what you should do? If you choose to use leveling legs, use 8 legs in one of two configurations. In the first configuration, change the 70" cabinet configuration to 3 sections rather than 2. Then you would mount one pair of legs on either end and two pairs beneath each of the section dividers (uprights). The second option would be to stick with you single upright divider, and mount two pairs on the ends and one pair under the upright divider, plus 1 leg centered in between each "pair of pairs" - hope that makes sense. If you choose the latter option, I would recommend adding reinforcement to the cabinet bottom to distribute the load borne by the 2 "centered" legs (e.g., a 1"x3" strut side-to-side, or simply a double-layer cabinet bottom that doesn't need to extend so far forward as to be visible). Good luck and please post your results! ETA: I just looked at a photo of one of the yurt cabinets, and it actually has 12 legs: 4 under each section of 3 sections of the 70" cabinet.

sew: lol it's okay u can ask. The kitchen is nice. Originally the sink was on the right and the sink was on the left. But for years I had to pull my dishwasher out from under the granite and slant it to open the door If not the dishwasher door would hit the cabinet door handle and the oven door handles. Also, I purchased rectify tile to come home to see I have a huge space in between the tiles. I was so hurt. I spent weeks looking for the right tile. When I walk on the tile, I can feel that the tile is loose. I've always wanted to open the space to make the place appear bigger since the house is relatively small. It's been about 10 years finally decided to make it happen. I was really into brown tones. I took the plunge and sold most dark things on offer up. I wanted to get a more bright look. I hope I can achieve the look and it all comes together. that's why I'm asking so much questions too because I need all the suggestion and ideas houzz members have to offer. I've learned so much on here. I don't want to make a mistake. This remodel will be it for the kitchen.
