Does anyone have a zinc dining / kitchen table?

Comments (13)You need to decide how you want to use your space. If you want people facing you while you're prepping (if that's how you will use your island) but out of your way, get stools. If you'd rather not have people bugging you but still have them nearby, don't get stools. If people tend to bug you while you're in the kitchen anyway and you'd rather have them out of the kitchen, get stools. All of this totally depends on whether you have the space for it in the first place. The distance between our island counter and table is around 4'. Not enough space for back-to-back seating, but we like it so we make it work. We don't typically have people sitting in both spots except for big parties anyway. If you have less than that, it won't fit....See Moreneed help with kitchen table lighting as well as rest of kitchen
Comments (10)I don’t prefer predominantly black fixtures for this space; imo, it obstructs the line of sight too much. But the lantern option OP mentioned is for sure better than the current wagon wheel fixture. Here is an article about staging with lighting, and lanterns are referenced: https://www.homewithkeki.com/2018/06/home-staging-lighting.html And, btw, OP - although lighting choices are ultimately a matter of personal preference - fyi, copper works with wood, and copper also works with your wood; it could offer you an updated look. I think the lantern/fixture I show above (in my previous post) is out your budget. But there are actually many light fixtures in the world - and the one I posted earlier was but one option. And at least I posted a lighting option... seeing as this was supposedly a post requesting options for replacing a light fixture... If anyone thinks that lighting and light fixtures are not important for staging a home for sale - think again....See MoreNeed help finding a kitchen table to go with my dated kitchen!
Comments (5)Except for the white walls and white Island, that's pretty much my kitchen. I turned the non -kitchen part into a "keeping room". I have two comfortable reading chairs and a bookcase full of cookbooks on the back wall. And I have a small dining table close to the island because there's just the two of us. The reading chairs are upholstered in a gold-colored checked fabric. And I keep a cheerful tablecloth on the table. This helps lighten the mood of that room considerably. You probably shouldn't try to match the wood tone. Nor should you go for painted furniture in there. The cabinetry may be a bit dated, but once you get your decorations in there, it should be a lovely space....See MoreAnna (6B/7A in MD)
