New Dinning Room Table
I know I said I would not bother you all because I really am way out there on my decorating. I just had to show you the new table I just bought. Has not arrived yet and a good thing because I need to make a place for it in my dinning room. But it is just so me and so cute. Not that I am cute just crazy. It does not really show up in the photo but this is an enamel top table. It goes with my old Hoosier and the kitchen table that matches it. Unfortunately there is no way to bring the Hoosier into the same area as both these tables will be unless I move my secretary and here I go again changing the whole house around and I just got done doing that. Somebody shoot me.
So here is the darling table. It does have some issues I can repair. I am good with old pieces. I LOVE the black and white.
I do not have a dinning room table in my dinning room. Just a small half round table up against the cabinets. Some thing has to leave the space. If I add an extra cushion on the couch it would work as a banquet??Spelling on that, for one side of the table but it looks like the center leg area would be in the way of knees. I never have company to dinner anyway so I could put it against the cupboard where the other table is and just have a larger table there. I do sit at this table some times to write bills or that kind of thing. OH boy it is going to rain tomorrow and I am going to be shifting furniture again.

Advice on choosing a new light fixture and drapery in dinning room.

Comments (2)Hi mcucchi! It depends on the width or diameter of your table. Measure that in inches and then look for drum chandeliers that are between 2/3 and 3/4 of that size. So, for example, say your table is 50 inches in diameter. 2/3 of 50 is 33" and 3/4 of 50 is 37.5". You could look for chandeliers between about 32" and 38" in diameter. Then, hang the chandelier between 30 to 36 inches above the table. (If you have higher ceilings, add 3 inches for each additional foot of ceiling. You don't want to hang a chandelier up so high that you can't see it or benefit from its light!) This advice comes from our guide to light sizing. Let me know if you have any questions or want to look at some chandeliers....See MoreHow to avoid placing the TV above dinning table in this room? Help!!
Comments (31)I like the banquette ideas from DecoEnthusiaste, above. If you put comfortable banquette seating under the windows, put the TV on the wall perpendicular to the slider, and get an adjustable height table that can be switched from coffee table to dining height, it might work. But very expensive if you’re going to go custom. How many people in your family? Is there any way to make that room just a seating area/tv but build table height counter seating under the bar counter for eating? Here’s an example:...See MoreDinning Table 10.9x10.9 Room
Comments (0)Hello, I am struggling with finding the right dining room table size for my room. I want a round table and I'm looking for it to fit 8 people. I'm torn between the 60in round with no leaf or a 54in round with a leaf. I would love the 60in round, I like the look of the solid table with no leaf but I'm afraid it would be too tight. It would leave 34.5 inches on each side from table to the wall and I will not have any other furniture in this room. It is a 10.9x10.9 room just shy of 11x11. would this be too tight?...See More

7 years agoOK Here is the dinning room as it is now except the little brown stool in front of the trunk is passed onto a friend and no longer there. the small half round table is on the left against the cabinet. There is a rectangle drop leaf on it on the back side. A very strange table but did work for the space until this new one comes along and cuteness wins out on this one. LOL
I measured the little couch cushions and they are at 18 inches just as is but when some one=me sits on them the foam cushions drop to 14 to 15 inches. Too short for a table. This is why it needs another seat cushion added and I just happen to have one up in my loft. A simple fix. I also have a board to put between the cushions so they do not drop down as far. It is under the bottom cushion now because I was sleeping on this couch when hubby was sleeping in the living room, in his recliner not ones shown, when he got so sick. I needed all the soft I could get while sleeping.
with the leafs pushed in this table is only 3 inches wider than the half round one that is there so it is a simple fix to just place the new to me table against the cabinets where the half round one is. If I need more clearance to get by I can then remove the narrow table from behind the little couch. It is just an old funky drop leaf. It makes a nice landing for things I need to take with me to town when I go so I remember them or to set some thing down when coming in the door like my keys and purse. So I like to have it there. Also holds a lamp and plant in window behind couch. But if it has to go it can. I am not married to it.

7 years agoJust thought I would up date this post to show I did follow through on my table thoughts.
The black and white table deal went south on me. The ladies DIL decided she could not part with it. But the nice lady offered me another wonderful table which turned out to be even better for my space. I LOVE the way the stark white table brightens the space. Later I plan on adding the black and white design to the top of this table done in mosaic glass work. I brought in my Grandmothers chairs to use instead of the captains chairs. I do enjoy sitting at the table eating my breakfast and drinking coffee looking out the window.
And yes my kitty is photo bombing me again. And I see another black one on the couch pillow.
