It's such a nice piece that I would want to have it in more prominent area so I could enjoy it. Is it possible to put it on the wall opposite the dining room window? Dinner ware, glasses, pottery and a buffet lamps and/or candles would be fitting.

Thanks so much! I totally agree; but opposite the dining room window, there is door and fireplace. And opposite/in front of the sofa there is a tv stand. :)

Pull your sofa forward 2-3 feet to put the spotlight on your new piece and create an access path. Use the lower shelves for books and create an attractive table scape on the top.

I like the contrast between rustic and contemporary lines of the sofa, so you could do a mix of baskets and simple lamps on the side table.

HI -- If you could find a wall where it will fit - I think it needs to stand alone, so it can become a feature.

Is there room to move your couch opposite the window, opening up the wall with your new console? I've scribbled it onto your photo; the chair would go under the window.

Thanks for so many great tips lovely people! :)
I pulled the sofa out 1-2 feet and that worked great! And would love to turn the sofa 90 deg, but then it would be weird wrt the tv-console. Am looking for simple lamps, and are on the picture hunt as well. Flowers I think will be beautiful on top of it!
