Will you help me choose a new kitchen table?

6 years ago

Last fall, we had our hardwood floors refinished and took the opportunity to make a slight adjustment in the placement of our kitchen island in order to gain more work space between the island and the perimeter cabinets. Previously, we had a table (36" X 60") placed perpendicular to the island in order to accommodate our family of 5. Now, we have less space for a table, but it's only the two of us. We have been thinking about using a 42" table in either round with a pedestal or square with 4 legs. We have been looking at Canadel because they have so many options, but I cannot make up my mind on a shape, style or color for the table. Will you help me choose??? Round or square? Pedestal or legs? Stained or white washed??? Whatever we choose, the table will be placed right next to the island.
Here is another table I found that might work, but it is slightly larger at 44" round.

And here are some pictures of the space as it is right now. The table in the picture is 36" wide. The light fixture will change after we find a new table. Also, we are still considering changing the countertops to something lighter.

If it will help, I can post another picture of this space without the table and chairs next to the island. Thanks for your help!

I love that table..we have a round table with an antique wrought iron base and a dark walnut top. I live the look. I think it would look nice in your space. I think two dark chairs to match the top is necessary.

I was surprised to see this thread pop up. It's kind of interesting timing because we JUST last week ended up buying a table and chairs from the consignment store where I work! I just could not make up my mind on which way to go with a new table and then lo and behold, this nice table and 4 chairs showed up. It's 36" X 48" and is working our great for the 2 of us. It's made by Bermex, which is very similar to Canadel. Of course, this only begins the process of changing so many other things like the light fixture, the wall color, the appliances and the counter top!!! I already have new fabric for recovering the chair seats.

I know..............lots of wood, but I just cannot justify having the cabinets painted white because they are only about 15 year old maple cabinets in VERY good condition. And even tho I say, that, there is still a part of me that revisits the idea of painting every once in awhile.
