I think a zinc tabletop would look amazing. It would give a weathered, old world look while still harmonizing nicely with the gray in the marble.

What about a round table cloth (cafe style) with a square colored one that would add accent to your corner. Adding fresh flower in a nice crystal vase.

You don't show us the rest of the kitchen, so I'm speculating here. The little chandelier and the glass fixture are my cues.

I'm the one who sees challenges like this and thinks about Gustavian Swedish style....the link shows one of the inspiration books that people use, but on that linked page are other recommended titles and you can browse some of them online. You can Google for images of this style also, including actual portions of the linked books on Google Book Search. And on the GW ask yourself as I do "What would WillowDecor do?" and then I start to find images to stimulate a brainstorm....

The airy, open pedestals of the tables you're looking at may be the opposite of the look you need. Live with your wooden table a little longer. I suggest you stain its tabletop very dark or paint it to match whatever dark color notes are in the kitchen and paint the legs white to match the kitchen, perhaps with some greyish? greenish? walnutty? glaze in the creases to make the leg trimmings more pronounced. Keep a part of the table looking like natural wood as well, if it helps tie to the island. If you're talented, consider Scandinavian historic frankly-faux "marble" folk painting for the top--it's so phony it's great. Keep your eyes peeled for a good looking Battenburg Lace tablecloth or other table fabrics that peek through to the dark color on the table top below. As noted by danielle84, use clear glass appointments to pick up the chandelier and light fixture glass themes and keep them modest in size to match the modest tabletop and chandelier. Clear glass is good because it's visually minimal but yet it twinkles and asserts itself. When working up the eating nook you can mix together antique look and modern, but avoid Hollywood Art Deco or assertive Craftsman or gushy Victorian or plastic. And when you're going bare table, have a couple different placemat or tablecloth looks to switch between--an "everyday formal" look--perhaps with REAL lace doilies or old dresser scarves or whatever--and very washable pieces in a solid gentle accent color look so that you aren't permanently chained to the white fabric neatness gig.

Okay to keep the B&W patterned pillows but delete the red patterned ones. Continue the semi-formal color scheme with some new pillows, napkins, placemats, chair cushions, etc. And maybe some white fine linen simple curtains or some real lace at top of window. You can do a lot with Target tension rods and rectangles of fabric. Do not use nylon "lace" or other trims that have too familiar (and cheap) a look. Think classy--even if you're working with old tatted pillow edging, it should be starched and absolutely perfect for the space--don't compromise on the flavor of this little spot.

Keep your eyes peeled for a chair? backless stool? to paint or stain to compliment the table. It doesn't need to match, but should look like it belongs with the cabinetry and the rest of the themes, substantial and comfortable but not big--I suspect you are already thinking along those lines with that photo of the b&w French chairs.

I found these all on ebay by searching marble mosaic. They have some lovely things there....

Dotcomgone---I am also in Seattle & thinking about using Baywood. I love how your kitchen turned out & I am also doing a similar white shaker inset style, but my kitchen is more modest than yours. They told me they use a conversion varnish type paint. Did you have Baywood paint or did you have another paint for you? Are you pleased with the result? If you used another to paint, who did you use? Also, did you have Baywood do the installation? Are you pleased overall?

your kitchen is a beauty! congrats!

what about keeping the table you have but painting it to match the black of the door and island? just a thought.

Gorgeous kitchen. I think I'd paint the base and wax the top. I think you need some wood to add warmth and texture there, but it needs to be weathered looking.

Try contacting Chateau Domingue in Houston, which has authentic as well as reproduction and custom pieces.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I haven't checked out your links yet but will do so today. I agree that a wood table is best...but if I could find that metal one I think it would give that French look I love. babushka and young deb, the table in the photo doesn't fit or I would just keep it. It is too short and doesn't allow people to sit and eat on all sides. Also, a back door swings open and hits the table. It definitely needs to be oval or rectangular.
Iblue, Baywood was one of 3 or 4 companies our contractor got bids from. We were very pleased with not only the cabinets but the service. John helped me tweak our architect's design, adding a bit more detail. He redrew the cabinets at least once to show me how a a different glass configuration would look. I added some details like knife drawers, dividers in drawers and some double deep drawers. They forgot to do a couple things but happily came back, got the drawers and quickly altered them.
We had our cabinets painted on site by our painting contractor. I will try to get their name for you. ( Benjamin Moore white dove, oil based.)
I can't recall if Bayview installed or if our contractor did. I'll find that out too. I was very pleased with all aspects of their services and cost as well.
Thanks again everyone. I can't wait to look at your suggestions!

Just found this one, which has a very different kind of pedestal. Awkward or perfect?
