oh good, that was my favorite, love the shape of it. yeah!

It’s super cute I think it will go perfect in here.

Great! If you are ready to move onto the coffee table you have 2 choices so we can determine what size the table should be. Either wait for the chair to arrive or take blue tape and tape the chair measurements to size on the floor where you are thinking putting it.

Here it goes. I think maybe an oval or circle coffee table will work

this coffee table has a faux marble top and is 44in wide. seems like a great price. also showing a metal console table, very simple design and would get two of them to butt up to each other to make it longer for the long wall

I was thinking that a round one would probably be the way to go. So you need about 14-18" for a walkway around the coffee table. So what size do you think we should be shopping for?

I know you were looking at marble but some thoughts for you to think about..

1. Do you need this table to put your feet up? 2. I have concern that the marble will fall flat and won't add any visual interest with all the beige/white you currently have going on. Plus, your sectional seems to be a creamy warm color and the marble could lean towards more white/cool tone and may not compliment the sectional undertone. 3. This is a good place to introduce glass/ metal which will give you a different texture in the room and give some reflection and give this area a more open feel.

not sure if this helps but images together to see if you like the marble look. rectangle not round but just for concept for everyone's reactions.

Is that the chair? I thought it was the one without the buttons?

This is an area to bring something unexpected in and take the room to the next level visually. Without knowing size this is just some examples of what I'm talking about.

The couch is too warm for the marble look. Glass wouldn’t be option I will be to scared the dog and kids would break it. Metal top may work.

Do you have a size? Do you see this coffee table as possibly putting your feet up on that we should also consider something with a wood top? Did the chair you order have those buttons?

The ones with the buttons the Madison chair. We definitely would use the table to put our feet up on.

So the button chair takes the room more into formal style. So now have to rethink the direction I was thinking when I thought the chair was w/o buttons. Size of table?

I like the way you are going. I think the chair has flexibility in style. I say keep going and see what happens🙂

term i might use for the room... casual elegance?

not sure if this could be an option, but I will see what you think. it may be too much upholstery?

This chair is traditional, the sofa is not. So either you work with that and that is how it is or you get a different chair that will reflect the style direction you want to go. Not wait to see what happens. And so far Diona has shown us that she likes modern, farmhouse and now traditional. IMO- I'd rather see a non-button chair that can easily accept those other styles through accessories. The button one with the sofa will be harder to work with. That said, if the button chair makes Diona heart sing, then we'll work with that one.

i agree Diona is a mix of styles and to me that provides some flexibility in options and therefore allows to be less rigid in one style, that's all🙂

one more idea... every room needs a little black and this one provides a nice contrast with your sofa vs the faux marble

BE careful of the Madison chair - I have seen it in person. You can see the black metal swivel bottom and that really bothered me.

Thank you ladies for your help and guidance to keep me focused on this!! I very much appreciate your help. I did go ahead and purchase the chair. I think it will look good in here. It will work. As far as the coffee table I’m open to all suggestions besides glass and marble lol.

Need size for coffee table and verify the shape you want.

Something round maybe 38x38.

Do you like either of these?

heres some additional ideas..

Diona- I noticed that you have a wood wall in your kitchen. Do you want to carry that wood color into your family room with a coffee table? If so, can you post a photo of that wall.

If I remember correctly, it was something in this color? If so, I was thinking something like this but need to find smaller if you have an interest.

That Madison table and the nesting tables are nice!!
The wood on my wall looks like this...

I think the Madison table would make a great statement in the room and work with the other pieces.

I keep thinking of more options for coffee table and console table... heres another idea

Theresa that color console is great I would love it if it did t have the drawers at the bottom it seems weird. That coffee table matches the stone on my fireplace!!

Your home is gorgeous! Maybe one of these on the large wall would add some texture and contrast to your space. :) Here are a few abstract pieces for you to consider..

nice to have storage perhaps and there would be other items on the bottom shelf so it would look more appropriate perhaps? I like the combination of materials that it has. feels unique to me. your room would have that light feeling throughout with those options which I like. what are you thinking as of now? any decisions made or still figuring it out?

Sorry ladies I was MIA for awhile but here are some updates pics.

I returned the chair with the buttons and went with the Martha Stewart one. I’m thinking of getting another one for the space.

Looks great!

Thank you!! It’s coming together...slowly lol

love it all!! chair is perfect. color is awesome.. and absolutely get another one. slowly is fine.

Thank you Theresa you ladies been so helpful

thought i would share a few inspiration pics of ways your coffee table can be styled, you may have things around the house to use to style it..

So throw a couple books on there with some candles, yes I definitely have those around the house. I love this coffee table. It’s a very good heavy wood piece I scored on letsgo.

nice... LOL, yes, if you have several coffee table books to make a couple stacks and then a couple large candlesticks, absolutely would work. need large sizes.

Looks fantastic. So peaceful and inviting.

Thank you Ellen.

Theresa I seem to be struggling with the coffee table. The books I have don’t look right on the table. I put a couple candlesticks on there but those candlesticks look better in my other room. So I did this cause I love these items but they are not working for me.

It’s the flowers not working for you. Try a plant in a pretty container.

Can you even see over all this to watch TV? I think all you need is a nice tray, maybe a woven basket type, to hold magazines, remote or whatever in it. You don't want to worry about the dog hitting the table or if you put your feet up on it accidentally knocking something off that could break or damage the carpet.

I think they may just need to be positioned a bit differently on the table. do you by chance have another thicker, larger book that you can stack the book and bowl on top of, or maybe stack magazines if you dont have a thicker book and then move it more to one corner of the table. try then moving the empty vase and coasters to the other end of the table on a tray and add a third objects with them on the tray. put the fresh flowers then between the two groupings. you will have three groupings in a row that expand the length of the table.

Good ideas, I will try those!! I’m looking online for a large basket tray.

As nice as those coffee tables look like with all the "stuff", in most cases they were done not for real living but staged for photos. But that said, it doesn't mean there is any right or wrong. It's just all personal preference.
