Can you help me with my style? Does this table work?
Comments (7)Lyfia- That question is the problem question. I do not really have any furnishings that are staying. My living room is full of hand-me-downs so nothing in that room is staying. Unfortunately that makes for a blank slate. That is why I described my tastes as somewhere between a pottery barn and a west elm-- since nothing in the house is very reflective of my style....See MoreMulti-Level Work Table As Substitute For More Counter Space?
Comments (11)''is there anyway to change the entrance to the 1/2 bath (ie close up that doorway and have it enter from a different room)?'' Unfortunately, the only other room it could open to is the dining room. ''Have you thought about building up? That is, place a series of half-width shelves above your island, similar to a baker's rack but centered (or not) on the main workspace and without the back.'' Like the slide in a restaurant kitchen? I'd love that, I think. I'm not sure what SMWBO will say. ''Minorly civilized version of a restaurant work table -'' What a great idea. I'd not thought of using slide-in sheets. ''here is a picture of my Boos Block "island" which sounds like something you are describing. I love it.'' I like that a lot. Not just the design, but the striking black color too. Thanks for all the ideas and pictures. I see that something like this can be function and attractive, so I will humbly petition SWMBO for an audience to present the proposal.

Comments (14)Hard to tell with just 1 photo. The table is functional but it’s not doing your space any favors. Lots of hard corners going on in that space between the geometric pattern on the chair, the square rug, the squared arm of the sofa and square pillows. I think two smaller round tables, would create more of an open feel and soften the space a bit. I also think the nesting tables tucked between the chair and sofa look a little cluttered, they need to have more open space around them to work well. Maybe just remove the two nesting tables below The top tier and edit out some of the material on top of to just a book with a bud vase. For a rug, I’d pull the light blue color from the patterned chair and work with that as the primary color in the rug. Be careful with anything overly pattern, as it will fight with the pattern of the chair. Your throw pillow placement seems haphazard, probably just not staged for the photo, or you might have too many pillows overcrowding the sofa, hard to tell....See MoreDoes a dark dining table work with a light buffet table?
Comments (1)Many people mix dark and light finishes and it can work beautifully. Lots will depend of other colors used; wall color, draperies, accessories, etc. To answer the question though, it can definitely work well....See MoreSt561 W
