Agree on the chairs that you currently have. I love the idea of painting the island a gray color - I have done something similar with white cabinets and it looks amazing. Lastly the pendants I would do something larger such as these pictures

I second the motion of a graphite painted island.... would be very pretty and some clear glass or silver tone pendant lights in lieu of the yellow pendants.

The table is nice and I like the shape. However, with little ones I worry if it is in fact real marble that it will get damaged quickly with alkaline foods and the like.

Always love a lantern light over an island as well such as posted above... comes in a polished silver and black as well... I love the polished silver. The light is darlana lantern by visual comforts:

Personally, I wouldn't go for that table. With that top, you'll then have 3 different colors and types of stone tops going on in one space.

Stephani, do you lean toward wanting an oval table or are you not concerned about the shape and just want to like it?

Given the kids, you probably want to get something to stand the test of time and if it's slightly rustic nothing really shows up or other... if you have 3 boys (I do/did now grown) it's a lot of wear and tear. You need to seat 5 so a table that seats 6 will be your best option. Will a 72" rectangle fit?

I'm sorry, I forgot to ask... is this your main eating area or more a place you will eat breakfast and lunch with the kids?

It is a great shape- for space and your number... however, are you prepared to dust the base every day? And as asked, if this is a real marble top, you may want to rethink this for wear too.

Another vote for not painting. Live with it and see. Also, these look like newer cabinets and as soon as you paint them you will void any warranty on them.

The World Market table is 59" and you could do chairs vs. a bench I believe... a tad small for the long term if this is your main table, but if it is the size that fits... something like this will seat your family. Round I believe to seat 5 will take up too much space in the area as it appears in the photo.

Round would be very pretty if you center it under the light... is that possible in that area? The kitchen is on the other side and .........

54" round is the smallest you could go with 5 people... This table also comes in a very dark wood and has a leaf so can extend add'l if needed to a semi oval.

What style table do you prefer....... modern like the one you were considering with marble?

Lantern style pendants would look great. However, the statement made earlier about the three different surfaces clashing is worrisome. Are you planning on getting a different table now?

No to paint the island gray. I actually like the current wood as it goes well w/the flooring while adding some warmth to the cooler decor items.

I like picking up more wood but would lean toward the table top/table so it's the opposite of the island. Agree with the multiple stone tops. Are you getting the barstools in the picture or will you have to purchase those as well? I would avoid the wishbone rounded chairs for seating 6 and remember, if you are not ordering them together, those chairs have to fit under the table/between the legs..

Can you/would you want to offer to buy them from the owner? Many times they can't be used in the next home and $100 or so will solve your problem.
