if you think the smell of coffee is bad...you ought to be on my deck when hubster is cooking the beans...it smells awful...I don't know how something that smells so bad can taste so good...When he first got the roaster he made the mistake of using it in the house...it took us days to get the house aired out...now he cooks the beans out on the deck! I'll drink coffee on a rare occasion...tea is my hot drink of choice...with milk and a little sugar!

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.

You’re welcome. The wood in your space (including new coffee table) is really going to look beautiful against the white. I really like your current wall color, too, btw. But if you’re just going for a change, the white will be a nice one - and it’s a popular choice these days. Beiges and golds are back as well, though, so you are definitely not limited to white for an up to date look. But a white will give you the most dramatic change from what you currently have. Have fun with it. :)
