What you've done thus far looks lovely, the dining room is yummy. Most of the living room is done well but I have a little issue with the balance of the room. In the photo ,looking straight on to the sofa, I see that it's not centered on the wall and the chevron pattern chair seems crowded. Is it possible to center the couch and move your heirloom between the two windows to another spot. Take the chevron chair and put it at an angle up near the window more to the right of the window. Then take your heirloom piece and place it to the left of the sofa. Just a suggestion.

The Latitude Run table is the only new table in the ones shown above that is really a dining table for anyone not sitting on the couch. The couch ones are good for two or three people at best, since they cantilever over to the couch from the center coffee table area and leave all the other chairs with no place to set anything. I love the Kai Kristiansen Elevator Table, and if you can fit it in and afford it, jump on it! That is an heirloom! I looked at a few MCM lift tables online when I was looking for my lift coffee table, and did not see one like that. The ones I saw had scissor-lift legs and would not have been as durable. Nor were they as beautiful! I got a table that had the same idea as this one Sherry Coffee Table at Wayfair for $580. But mine rotates a half turn and opens like a book, which doubles the table size. I can have the table either small or large at any height between 11" and 30" and it really is a breeze to lift and convert. I got mine at ExpandFurniture.com, and they have this 39 x 22 ish Coffee Table that rises from 10" to a Dining Table at 30" and doubles in size. It is small enough to be practical in your space, but provide a real table for dining that all knees can tuck under (unlike the Latitude Run and even Expand Furniture's version of it). It is $799, expands to 39" x 45" (which is still half what I paid for mine, that expands to 59" x 43"). Even if you do decide to stick to tables that make a little tabletop that rises and moves over to the couch, look at what Expand Furniture has. Check into what kind of wood product the different tables you consider are made of. I would not expect a moving mechanism in an MDF or particle board to last. The tiny wiggles with each movement would loosen it sooner or later. Another option for a lift table to bring the table top toward those sitting at the couch is to look at used furniture stores. These tables were popular in the 1990s, but many did not see a lot of use. I see them in my favorite used shop regularly.

Can you post a link? Two things to take into account with future purchases. --Make sure the wood in the coffee table harmonizes with your wood floors. --The room is small, so something up on legs won't take up as much visual space as a solid coffee table, ottoman, or trunk. Can't tell from your photos if the floor trends toward driftwood or golden oak, but a variation of something like this, or a glass table if you get a great rug will work. P.S. Changed my mind about position of the print chair in the corner. It might look more welcoming to have it face into the room within reach of your future coffee table.

Hi deeinohio- Your experience using a powder coater may have been different than mine so I'll just mention that I've had multiple things done in the past and found it to be a less inexpensive way to go for what I had done than purchasing new. And it would have been even less expensive if I had gone with a color such as black that the powder coater used on a regular basis as they could have run it with another order. The hardest part for me was finding a shop that was willing to do a very small job. As with most things, always get quote and see if it makes sense.
