Need help with coffee table, end table(s), and side table for chair
Comments (17)I love the idea of an long ottoman as a coffee table, but it would have to be in leather or something else that cats can't scratch on. An upholstered fabric ottoman would be considered a cat scratch post in their world. Still looking for a new small scale coffee table or ottoman (48" or less x 21" or less) and new end table and chair side table. All have to be super small. The end table needs to be less than 17" wide. I definitely want to add more texture. I was thinking next to the love seat I'd put a basket for a blanket or magazines to start adding some texture. I have added the lamp to the corner. Our ceilings are 18' tall. I took another picture of the tapestry. Please let me know if you still think it's hanging too high. Side note: I wanted to hang long curtains to frame that front window but the husband didn't want them. :( So that is not going to happen. Please keep the ideas coming as I'm on my own with trying to figure this stuff out. It doesn't come naturally to me. Thank you!...See MorePOLL: Coffee or Tea?
Comments (157)In my family we put a bit of tea, lots of milk and a dash of sugar in the kids bottles. Thus we are all tea drinkers, my kids love making Grampy tea. Super strong Irish tea with milk and a heaping dose of sugar. Just how my dad used to make it! Never did like the taste or smell of coffee, but my kids both drink it now that they are in college. One with lots of flavored sweeteners and the other just strong espresso....See Moreworking with medium oak cabinets ugg!
Comments (4)I find that cream wall paint helps keep the wood from looking too yellow or orange. I have a creamy beige close to the first photo in my own kitchen with white trim and wood cabinets. I did a quick look through the Houzz photo's under the search "wood" cabinets to try to find a grey with your cabinets and bright countertops - found one with a slightly different shade of wood. Both photos show some glass doors - something I also have which decreases the "wall of wood" feel. The panel in the door can be routed out and a glass insert put in. You might also search "wood cabinets" to see if you find some inspiration for your style. If your husband doesn't like the idea of paint, he might go for having the doors refinished to a richer color....See MoreNeed rug and coffee table ideas...
Comments (53)very nice pillows. i have deleted all my suggestions from earlier. I am thinking they are dark green and blue with a beige accent. I have a few things to consider 1. will it be comfortable sitting there with all the pillows. The room is fairly dark, will it now be cold and dark? Rug recommendations. you do still need curtains, tables, lamps and art work....See Morejschyun
