Coffee table: Yay or Nay?
Comments (10)Not TOO bad, according to this from the Style at Home link that I will put below. But how wide and deep is it, and do you have enough space? I'm guessing it's approx 4 feet long, and it's height will make it 'seem' bigger, even though it's glass. How large is your room; how long is your sofa...Maybe do a mock-up of the size with newspaper, and then gauge the height. "Size matters - The standard height for coffee tables is from 16 to 18 inches, but may go as high as 21 inches. A higher table is a smart choice if you entertain frequently so that guests don't have to bend too much to set down their drinks. But, ultimately, the height of the adjacent upholstered pieces should determine the height of the table. One guideline is that a coffee table should be about the same height or one or two inches lower than the seat height of the sofa. The length of a coffee table should be about two-thirds the length of the sofa (not including arms). The width should be determined by how much room you have between the soft upholstered pieces and the table in your seating arrangement �" leave at least 16 inches around each side of the table."

Comments (0)Hello All, In replacing our dining room light it appears that we're at the mercy of our house design. I think the space was really designed for a round or square table, but ours is rectangle. It seems like no matter the style of fixture it will be off center from the table, about a foot too far to the left. The light that's currently there came with the house and is a chandelier with a link chain that probably helped to center it for the previous homeowner. I'm not crazy about the chain/corded look for the space. Also, moving the placement of the fixture isn't really an option right now. Would this drive everyone else batty, because I think it would get really old, really fast? Any suggestions? I'm currently looking at something along the lines of this for reference: http://www.wayfair.com/Globe-Electric-Company-Vintage-3-Light-Kitchen-Island-Pendant-64845-PIL1161.html Thanks! :)...See MoreTable Runner: Yay or Nay?
Comments (24)Do you seat six for meals at your table on a daily basis? If so, please read no further in this comment because it will be useless. If, however, you have some flexibility on the number of table leaves used every day, I wonder if you've considered removing one leaf and trying the lovely runner on the slightly smaller sized tabletop? It could lengthen the runner drop about six inches or so, and that might give it a different look in the space. It's hard to see (on my screen here) what the leaf options are. Just an idea if you feel like trying it. BTW, I like your wall color and fresh white trim....See MoreCL table $250 - yay or nay?
