One more - swatches next to table

And our west elm furniture came also! The chairs that they said wouldn’t be here until April! I still can’t believe it .

Now need some help with pillows.

Looks great! I'd pull those chairs up closer onto the rug. Is there room to have them on the rug AND have the round table fully on the rug too? can you take a pick from the the other angle? How's the chaise end of the sofa look by the doors/windows?

There isn’t really room to pull everything on the rug, i pulled them up a bit. The chaise end can’t go much further over as we do still walk over there.

Chaise end looks good. I personally think you can move the chairs up to make a more tight knit space but I am not a pro and don't know if that's aesthetically pleasing. Hopefully someone else will chime in.

how exciting... its christmas at your house today!!! how do you like it all? love the new blue chairs with the rug and sofa. really like the blue! as for the chairs, take a look at the below pic. it looks like you could push the chairs forward some so that the front end of the chair is in line with the arm of the sofa.... maybe try it and see what you think. I think you could feasibly move them a little closer into the round table too...

I will play around with the placements.

Also want to get a nice mirror on this wall here , any suggestions? Maybe something round?

The blue chairs and end table looks great! You can move them closer together toward the round table, and move them further onto the rug so all but the very back legs are on the rug. You've got plenty of room. The front of the chair arms can be in line with the arm of the sectional. For the dining room, I like the very darkest charcoal color for the fabric. For sectional pillows, you don't need much. Just two blue pillows that you have, and maybe one large rectangular pillow that brings in the saddle color of the ottoman or other warm color from the rug. A kilim pillow would look great for some texture and pattern. For the mirror, you could use one with a black, gold, or stained wood frame. A round one gives you a simple look, or use an antique carved mirror for more interest. You might want to choose your artwork first for the other walls. The walls are a place to infuse your personality into the space. All your rooms are really coming together beautifully.

Love the blue chairs! On the dining chairs, to me it would depend on what color you paint the wall. If you still want navy for the wall, I vote the lighter fabrics for the chairs. If you do a dark gray color on the walls, then I vote the dark gray fabric. The lighter fabrics will be monochromatic with the buffet and rug, the darker fabrics have more contrast. They all work though, depends on what you want.
Did I read right that it is Christmas, if so Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! The chairs look great, though I agree they need to be pulled up to the party... It looks like you are trying to align your ottoman and table with the front door which is fine, but the sectional is so far away right now. Unless you and hubby are 7' tall you need to push the sectional in a bit. If it feels too crowded once you move the chairs up, try putting the marble table in the corner of the rug and the chairs around it, sort of facing the sectional and closer to the ottoman.

For the dining room, I agree it will depend on whether you paint or not, but I would eliminate the med grey color. It seems to be picking up a purplish hue (at least in the pictures) which is fighting the brown tones.

@mnmamax3 funny I just said to my husband this morning that that shade looks purple to me. Eliminated that. Leaning towards the dark just to be user friendly and hide stains although i do always love the light colors that tend to get me into trouble.

@Theresa Janssen

am thinking these might be nice -

My blue & silver are from west elm too, and the price is good.

Pillows for your sectional? I think those colors will be lost on the light gray fabric. I think you need something with a stronger pattern and color.

funny, i saw them and thought they would look great in your bedroom. i had to look at the thread to see which one it was. I agree that pillows need more oomf for your sectional and rug.

now, I may have spoken too quickly...how about those for your new chairs...they will show with the blue.... just a thought

@Theresa Janssen the photo didnt come through!

So our leather ottoman ended up being “squishier” than we had hoped.... the tray i have on right now is small and from our old table, but was looking to get a larger tray this way people can put down drinks and such. Any ideas where to find that? Found some on etsy , kind of what i’m looking for.

for example - something like this

Where is your living room rug from? I LOVE IT!

@Jennifer Oddo

a website called boutique rugs , thank you!

Both your chairs and each end of your sectional already has a place to put down drinks. I would plan to use the ottoman as an ottoman instead of adding a large tray. Your baby will love to crawl and walk all around the ottoman, and you can't safely keep a tray on it for awhile. If you want a permanent large surface for drinks and other items, I think you're better off with a solid surface coffee table. I would just use the tray you have for now. With an oversized one, it's hard to find a place to store it when not needed, and the smaller one functions fine if you're having a large party.

my comment was about the pillows you showed from west elm... I was just thinking that maybe they would look good on your blue chairs...

Do you think I should keep this table behind the couch? Or move it to another area... also any suggestions on how to style the small round table in between the blue chairs?

hey there... what a neat console but I think it's a little too tall and not wide enough for behind the couch. doesnt look right to me. but really like the style of it... what do you think?

I think because our couch is low i’ve been having a hard time finding a table thats low enough. I do like the table but not sure if it right there either. Other options would be here or here

try it in both places and see what it looks like...

for your round table between your two chairs, I'd say keep the candle and add a cute little vase of flowers. maybe stack the flowers on a couple nice hardback books

I see you have a little potted plant on your mantle. try that on the table instead, it's a little small for the mantle

Things are coming along Leana! I think you can totally have a tray on the ottoman. You may need to adjust the items on it as your little one grows but as long as its heavy enough it will be fine. I might consider more of a rectangular shape on a diagonal so you can still put your feet up. I little potted plant and stack of books is fine.

For the console, you might need to consider two consoles side by side for it to look right. And you're right - that one is too tall. Give us the height of the back of the couch and the length and we'll see what we can find. I thought I posted some options a million posts ago but I don't have the time to click through to find it now.

Thanks everyone, I actually got this console table as a gift so im going to try to make it work somewhere. Whether or not I keep it here, maybe I will move it but the thing is so dang heavy I can't move it myself. I agree it looks a little off but was thinking If i decorated it a bit might flow better.

I like the console, and think the height is perfect for the cushions. I would keep it behind the sectional. It should look fine when you add a few accessories. I would just place a few books (laying down) on the short shelf, and a plant on the top. Leave the rest of it clear. I wouldn't put any accessories on the table between the chairs. The point is to have it clear for use, and you already have accessories on the sectional tables. Sometimes less is more.

This is what we’ve got so far ... don’t think this is the right plant for here but just playing around with what I have. Think it needs a frame or 2, or a candle. I obviously love candles!

Attempt 2 - suggestions for 1 large item/shape for top shelf?

I think the top needs some type of large object or a grouping of vases.

i love the pottery barn round floral wooden wheel stand, i have in my cart currently.

I would maybe move that round floor basket by the lamp to one side of the console, and get a plant on a stand for the other side to sort of elongate the table area so it looks like it fits better and take the focus away from all the metal legs on the console and end tables.

IKEA has great houseplants if you want to go live. Check to be sure not toxic - I know you have a dog (and baby friends).

@mnmamax3 great ideas, i've actually been on the hunt for some nice faux plants for the house... any suggestions on good places to look for this?

i have had some luck at target and pottery barn for faux plants...

I bought this one on wayfair. It's just the plant (not vase or anything) but fills out nicely to replace the real Boston fern I had which was beautiful but constantly was dropping leaves and very messy. Fake Snake plants look very real too.

Were you getting an arc lamp from somewhere? I like the little lamp you have but tuck it into the corner behind your end table and bring it into space a little. Get some kind of floor guide for the cord so you don't trip on it.

I would just use the books and candle on the shelf, and place the plant on the left side of the console, for a balanced but asymmetrical arrangement.

@calidesign use books on the top shelf and the bottom shelf?

@mnmamax3 i found an arc lamp that we liked at lowes, but we are't sure if we even will put a lamp. We don't need the light and the reason we have it in the corner is because it blocks the path right there and my husband does walk back there to sit on the couch.

No, I meant books and candle on the bottom shelf, as you had it in one of your photos, and then just the plant on the left side of the console top.

How about this? I dont want to do anything too tall as im worried about knocking it over one day from the couch.

And heres with the basket next to it like you suggested

really like the plant. overall still not quite right on top.. maybe one large piece on top something big, can be long and short, but substantial..
right now the two ends are close to the same height and width, needs more varied sizes... or how about 3 different size vases on the left and keep the plant on the right with the middle pretty empty.

I also think the console table is too small for behind the sectional. How about floor plants on either side of the console table, or another identical table to place 2 side by side? You could also do end tables on either side in a similar finish. Or 2 or more large baskets like the 1 you have for pillows, blankets, toys, magazines?

I will be looking for a floor plant to put on the one side, maybe a larger basket for the other! In person I dont feel it looks too small, the photos might make it look a little small but I actually think it fits fine especially with the basket on the end next to it. Im going to look for a taller item to place on the one end to try to balance it out a bit, and think I over did it with the books lol.
