So it’s nearly time for me to start planning for the move back to my freshly renovated place, which has me thinking about furniture placement and the new pieces that I might need. Who am I kidding? I’ve been arranging furniture in my head for this space for over a year.
Tonight’s research project centred on the dining table. Before there was no space for a table, but by opening up the kitchen, voila I can eat at the table like a real grown up. But space is still at a premium so it’s either going to be a modest sized round table or a square extension table.
I would love a Saarinen marble topped beauty like this but alas, I’m not made of money. So instead I’m considering a nicely proportioned wooden table that I will probably paint black (something like the below). I’ve had a look on eBay, but nothing was right. If it looked good, the top was cracked etc etc.
Which reminded me of Home Furniture On Consignment. While there wasn’t anything that fit the bill this time, if I was in the market for a new lounge this could just have done the trick.
And if my bedroom was big enough to accommodate them, I’d love the matching armchairs too.
Not right for my place, but this Robyn Cosgrove rug looks good.
