Do you want it to be able to hold platters and such? Or do you just want to display knickknacks? What is your style? Traditional or more modern? (I know there are more styles than this; just trying to get the feeling) A creative solution could be to find a carpenter to make you something exactly to your specifications; it would not be a difficult job--I'd imagine someone doing some creative edge work on the piece. And there are a few Websites of places that sell table legs (I've come across both wood and metal). You could get somebody to make you a wood top and then attach legs, and you could probably stain the piece yourself! You could use 2 legs and an L bracket at the back of the table to affix it to the wall, or 4 legs for a regular movable table.

If you want to make something, you could do what DS did. She took 2 tall, footed urns and placed an antique door on top. If you use the resin planters, you could add rocks to weight them down. A narrow width door may be needed for what you want, and if the surface is too uneven (panels, shutters, etc)a sheet of glass could be used on top of the door. To keep the door from blowing off, you could glue it to the planters.

Bookcases are up! Or, at least two of them are ☺️ I ordered three, which would exactly fill this wall. But now I’m thinking maybe two is better: if I want the sofa centered on the fireplace (which I’m pretty sure I do), then the third might make the walkway from the living to the dining part of the room feel pinched. What do you think? I have lots of great art waiting to be hung, and I’m thinking maybe using the space on either side of the shelves for a painting or two, rather than adding the third set of shelves? Please excuse the messy table 😆 I‘d also be grateful for any thoughts about the styling — I put this together late at night, with lots of sentimental treasure that have been hanging out in inappropriate places around the house. I have other spots to display things, though, so if anything is out of place, it can be relocated (except for the baskets — there’s one of those for each of my kids for homeschool work; they like to work in the dining room lately, and I’m happy to give them space as long as everything goes back in the basket when they’re done). Thoughts?
