rounded corners for dining room table
Comments (2)According to my opinion a round table is not ideal for larger gatherings, as a large round table simply means that while you can see others, you still seem far away, and may have to shout across the table to be heard....See MoreRounded corners for a dining room table
Comments (4)The good news is that you don't have to be dead nuts perfect. When you made your practice pieces you probably cut radii on a couple of scraps, right. Then set then on top of each other to see how you did. You can't do that with a real table top, the nearest corners are, what, 3 feet apart? Most people's "eye" just isn't that good. You can make a template and just trace a line on all four corners. Remove the bulk of the material with a jig saw and sand to the line with a belt sander. You could also build a jig and use a router with flush trim bit. Rockler, I think, used to sell a radius template jig. With a little help from Google you could probably find plans for one on the web. You might also try magazines like Shop Notes and Woodsmith....See MorePlease show me pictures of your corner cabinets in dining room.
Comments (15)Thanks, my3dogs. I feel very lucky to have gotten it. I also have the dough trough he made. My sister has the bed and a desk (with a hidden compartment). Yes, Rob, the inside is painted. Both my grandmother and my mother painted it to match the dining room walls in their homes. I suspect everyone in the family always did that. I have not repainted. I love all these cupboards, whether corner cupboards or flat ones! They are a weakness of mine! Would love to find a step-back cupboard that I could afford. Found one once, but was with a friend who wanted it, so I didn't get it. Turns out she never did either-so disappointing. Then again, I would take any one of the ones all of you posted. Wonder how many would fit in the house??? :) Good luck on your search! I think the idea of trying to find some from houses that are being renovated is a good one. Lots of older homes had built in corner cupboards that people may be removing and there were often two in the dining room. Post pictures when you find what you want....See MoreAwkward Corner Fireplace Living Room/Dining Combo
Comments (8)Beverly's spot on. Get an appropriate sized rug to define you space--use ALL the space. Everything crammed up on the fireplace isn't working. I will never understand a TV in a room where no seating orientates towards watching it. There's confusion and dishonesty in those configurations. The drapes, matching the walls hung waaay too high...they are adding nothing to your space. Those divided light windows with no casings call for a different sort of window treatment, perhaps roman blinds....See MoreGardengnome
