Such FUN...fits you to a "t" ...& you've certainly crossed your "t's" preparing these t'scapes for Christmas! TFS! Jeanne s....See MoreDining table cut down to coffee table height
Comments (35)parma, I agree. Something about that style and finish is just what I'm looking for. lido, you may be right, and I think I'd rather compromise having the leaf seam than the having a different base style or woodgrain or finish on the table. bronwynsmom, thank you for that info. In addition to the leaf thing, I think that size would probably be more suited to the scale of my room, but by definition, wouldn't those tables be more formal? What I like about the one I'm considering is that it's oak, which seems less formal, yet the style is not country-ish (not that there's anything wrong with country, just doesn't go in this house). I emailed the seller back asking for a picture of the underside of the table to see if we could possibly cut it down and she sent me some fuzzy photos saying the top does appear to come off after all, so I think we should be able to do it. She said the diameter of the top is 45". I'm going to have to try to mock something up to see if that will look right. This is a small room with small-scale seating, so it might be too big. But the biggest question is will she come down significantly on the price; I've been looking for this table for a while now, and of course it shows up 2 weeks after I quit my job!...See MoreNew table design...opinions wanted
Comments (103)Thank you pattyxlynn. I really appreciate that someone else notices exactly what I've been seeing in this thread. I certainly can't fault folks around here for lacking persistence. I have listened, reconsidered and still the answer is the same. KSWL, thank you too. What seems to be hard for folks to grasp is DH and I like the shape of the table. We don't see it as odd or winnebago. We see the half octagon as very useful and practical. That's why we are willing to shell out the bucks to get a custom made table. It works much better than anything "off the shelf" could. hollysprings, I often appreciate your contributions, but your last comment goes too far. To go from a discussion of the shape of a table in a nook, to implying there is something fundamentally wrong with my lifestyle, suggesting that our 7 years spent designing our custom home which perfectly meets our needs lacks thoughtfulness and quality of analysis, and impugning my ability to entertain and properly hostess guests in our home, really goes too far. And I just don't see how you can consider the suggestion, that we rebuild a 2 story bay window just to use a table you think is of appropriate shape, a useful one. You, and apparently others, are really missing my fundamental point. The existing table, even with it's scrap lumber material, roughshod assembly, and painted finish works fabulously well for us. It is why we are willing to pay the money to get a custom made table for the spot. If we were willing to compromise on the functionality, we'd just hit some pottery barn back room and be done with it. But we are not. So dear co-posters, don't get me wrong. I do appreciate the time and effort and all the comments and inputs that everyone has made, but for the 8th and final time, the shape of the top has been decided. It's done. We like it. We're going with it. La fine. Thanks sixtyohno, didn't want your kind words to get lost in the latest shuffle. I will certainly have a good discussion with our woodworker about table top finish to make sure it's durable. He has a couple of boys he's raising, so he's very familiar with that requirement.

Comments (118)I can't believe I didn't see this thread before now! Great job, Jojoco! Productive, creative and fun. My grandmother built a dollhouse for my younger sister, but I think I loved it even more than she did. I always thought it would be great fun to do one. The only one I have done was inside a jewelry box. I remember the bed was a fabric covered penny and I thought a round bed was the coolest thing ever. It would be fun to do a standard sized one....See MoreRelated Professionals
