We have recently moved into a new build and would greatly appreciate help with suggestions for a kitchen dining table set and coordinating counter stools. We are looking for a casual dining table that seats four and would prefer a recatngular one, but are finding it very difficult to find a nice 60-65 inch table. the kitchen island is 9ft and we would like to have three counter stools there. our floors are stained in a combo classic gray and weathered oak. caninets are icy avalanche - a very light gray - and the counter top is carrara laza quartz.
For counter stools i do like the carson stool in white but cant seem to find an appropriate coordinating dining set.
the dining area extends into the living area which will have couches in a soft white fabric.
thanks in advance to all!

I think the carson stools will get lost, maybe something with more contrast against your island?
and i know everyone loves those woven stools

Need help choosing wood countertop to coordinate with wood floors
Comments (28)Ok, so my DH brought it home and..... I don't like it :( Sometimes things have a way of growing on me but I don't think that this will. And, of course, the cabinet isn't finished yet so it's a bit hard to see it and judge with the cabinet looking the way it does above rather than the rest of the cabinets. My complaints - I think it'll be too dark. It's the darkest thing in the kitchen and it's basically the longest uninterrupted stretch of counter (the area next to it is 112 but that includes the sink) so it seems very visually prominent. I'm not a huge fan of the strips of wood next to the strips of wood in the floor. The finish on it is pretty shiny and somehow it appears very lifeless and flat - DH commented that it looks like laminate! I realize that this could be changed with a different finish on it. The positives - it looks really nice with the dark wainscotting in the dining room. It's not in the dining room of course but the view through is nice. The wood itself is pretty gorgeous. The colors and patterns are SO pretty. I'm thinking now that I need a different wood species. I think I'd prefer something that's more in keeping with the colors in the floor. Anyone have any recommendations? I'm thinking about sapele, mahogany, cherry, teak and maple. I think I'd probably prefer a plank style so that it's not as visually similar to the floor. Any thoughts or recommendations are appreciated!!...See MoreWhich counter stools to coordinate with dining room?
Comments (10)Why not something in a metal with some color the kitchen stools do not have to coordinate with the DR IMO. I do not think either of those works with what you have. The rattan does not even look comfortable and the other is too formal I think.I have no idea about what your kitchen looks like but I like some color for stools or the same metal stool with a wood seat maybe....See MoreNeed dining room chair and counter stools!
Comments (1)Stools? I am not seeing an over hang that would accommodate knee/leg room. Beautiful table. If you get chairs with upholstered seats they can be easily reupholstered over time as kids grow out of the spill stage....See Morecounter stools & dining chairs
