dianedespinosa Where is the round coffee table from?

dijrclark I love the fireplace. I am doing my fireplace in this stone. Where can I buy a steel mantel like this one?

dmaloon how do you get such great corners in your ledgestone post?

Michael FitzSimmons Decorative Arts A mistake a lot of people make is to plan the room around the tv as if it will always be on. Sometimes it is not, and you need to provide for those times as well. I agree with Kelli about a long console / credenza underneath the tv, and I would actually get a larger one, if that is a possibility, and maybe mount it a little lower. You want to avoid the airport boarding gate look, where the tv is placed high so everyone can see it!
Put your main, tv-watching seating facing it, like I believe you have, and then add some secondary seating, such as two comfortable club chairs with a low table between them, facing the fireplace. Also, I would move the sofa towards the frieplace a bit, so that it creates a sublte demarcation between the dining area and the seating group.
I also like Kelli's thought about window treatments. The space is a little sterile feeling at the moment, and the only real shots of color are the toys. Leather is an excellent choice for easy maintenance.

dramaqueen313 I love the ideas/suggestions and I love the picture that Kelli attached.( I am a Kellye too), I am trying to warm up the space b/c it is so open and cold-yeah we have not done much since we built this home and moved in... I do have another question about paint color because of the open concept theme, should I use 1 color througout the family room and kitchen? was looking at doing some turquoise blue/grays/chocolate brown and a splash of orange- I was thinking of doing an accent wall-should that be the wall that teh tv is on or the one that the fireplace is on? I have only columns seperating the spaces, and I am currenty waiting for a modern kitchen set in black coming from Crate&Barrell with a matching hutch, leather smoke gray/brownish chairs- see pictures...I am also doing some pendant ighting and a modern like chanderlier over the table? any ideas? I need color suggestions please!

Jenny Harmeier I would love this tile also. Do you know where I can purchase it?

Sandra Gordon Is there another column on the other side of the fireplace?

vgcfaria What 's the colour of this stone? Tks

Northern Stone Supply, Inc. Mostly greys with a few pieces showing a small amount of earth tone browns.

laura2358 what company did you use for the steel fabricator?

nauseous I used Capital Sheet Metal in Sacramento, CA, but any sheet metal fabricator can do it - it's not complicated. Just give them the dimensions, and they'll be able to accomodate.
