Universal Hardwood Flooring & Moulding, Inc. White Oak or Red Oak can be stained and finish to look very similar. The only accurate way to determine which is which is to cut a piece and examine the grain.
alexb2013 They are lovely! I have seen some at Maison du Monde but can't decide between the white leather look upholstery or ivory cotton- to go with a white tulip table...
Hi, I also have a banquet at my eat in kitchen/breakfast nook. However, I have an island not too far away. Would you suggest a round table like it is shown here or would you suggest an oval or rectangular? I like the tulip table with marble top but I can't find the right oval size but they have a great round one. I'm not sure if the flow of traffic would be worse? It would seat less people with the round? »
Dytecture I actually recommend rectangular tables, especially with banquet seating, since the person sitting in the middle of the table will feel squeezed with an oval / circular table, while the person in the end will be further from the table with no way to adjust the banquet.
Rhonda Kieson Designs If you have a corner banquette (i.e., both banquettes are approximately 5 feet in length), a 48" round table works best, as it is easy to get seated, and no one is inconvenienced by having to sit "too close" to the table. In the case where one bench is substantially longer than the other, a rectangular table works best. When the banquette is actually a window seat, such as is shown in this picture, it would seem an oval table is the best option. It would be difficult to gain access to the seating area if a rectangular table was used.
round table seats how many? - I am looking to seat six in my kitchen and like idea of using a bench on one side. Can you give the dimensions of this round table? »
Swap your chairs for something more sophisticated. If your eating area is fairly relaxed, you can make a big punch by replacing your casual chairs with more elegant ones. Seating that you’d put around a typical dining room table will create an interesting mix with its informal surroundings.Don’t have the budget for a new set of chairs? No worries: Affordable slipcovers can give the ones you have an entirely new elegant appeal.
8. Nailhead design. Traditionally used to tack furniture upholstery into place, nailheads can be used as design elements as well. They line up in perfect unison on this cornice to create an understated but classic pattern. Styling tip: Use nailheads on furniture in the same room to create a reoccurring motif within the space.
Love the black and white accent cushions. Like nooks that back onto windows. take the table away and it's a useful seating spot for friends to perch while cooking and chatting in the kitchen :)
