is this coffee table too country/rustic for my living room?
Comments (19)If you get a pedestal table, you can put little kid chair next to it & it would be an instant playtable (I do that) :-) Depending on the size that you want, you can buy a pedestal dining or side table and have it cut down to the height you like. Somehow it's always easier to get pedestal dining/side table than coffee table. Some even come w/ the side leaf that can be closed up or down. My friend did this to her old dining table and it's perfect. When you want more room to play, open it up. When it's not used, close it down for more space. This one is not too art & craft but kinda give the idea. And not too expensive either. Here is a link that might be useful: one option...See MoreTraditional/Transitional Living Room Help
Comments (37)I don't know why my photos are posting so large, even after I resize them to be small. Rather than show you ENORMOUS photos, I'll link instead: I could see this torchiere in the corner where you currently have a floor lamp. Not sure I would want more than one though, even though I do think you need two floor lamps at your sofa. torchiere Since you liked those brass end tables, you might like this simple brass floor lamp. These would look good as a pair around your sofa. reading lamp What are your thoughts about your existing sconces? I don't much like them (had similar ones in my Victorian house), but if they are of the period of the house, I'm not sure that I would change them. Have you considered having covers built for the radiators? They look great and give a little shelf space too. Along those lines, I worry a little about drapery touching the radiators - do they get quite hot? Do you have an inspiration photo for the swooping of one panel - I've seen curtains held back high, or held back low, sometimes mostly covering window, othertimes mostly exposing the window....See Morecomplete living room redo - transitional with touch of boho
Comments (79)Love the rugs, especially 1 & 2. I have another one I think would also be nice in your room, if I can find it again. I like the chair, color and style. I know this is just a rendering and may not be to scale, but just want to note that the chair needs more heft to balance with the sofa. I think style would be ok, but a larger chair....See MoreCoffeetable help for industrial/rustic living room
Comments (61)Update: I ended up getting this mango wood coffee table (real wood). They had it at wayfair too but it was too pricey there so I got it from Walmart. It is on its way. I need help looking for curtains. The rug has gold/cream/grays in it. I'm not sure what color direction to go in and since I need 108inches for curtains, it's hard to fine good ones that size. Most curtains I like end up only coming in shorter sizes. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Signature-Design-by-Ashley-Kinnshee-Light-Brown-Round-Cocktail-Table/471178543?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0&&adid=22222222227342198696&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=431052747104&wl4=pla-895963944176&wl5=9007790&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=online&wl12=471178543&veh=sem&gclid=CjwKCAiAjeSABhAPEiwAqfxURV_mJY3tY2l2BT6JeaIPFrl50O1e_wkPoLffW-AqAFB1v9WB9Ut4MRoCct0QAvD_BwE...See Moredeegw
