I Am, If Nothing Else, Inventive

Working through our banquette options (Les is going to build a banquette with built in storage) I needed to see what space I am working with and what it would look like with the table that unfortunately we have yet to find and purchase.

Originally I had decided upon a 35″ square table from Italy that would extend to 71″ and therefore be able to seat 6 (possibly 8 if we had to) but when we bought the  35″ outside square table inside just to see how it looked, it looked soooooo bulky, so at that moment we decided it would be better to purchase a 42″ round (which will mimic the curve back of the new sofa bringing some softness to all of the hard edges in the room) but of course I needed to see how it will look but how exactly do you do that…….why with a candle holder, a wicker basket and some cardboard 🙂

Square Option…….

Round Option – candle holder, wicker basket and cardboard 🙂

You can see on the floor the blue painters tape marking our options for the banquette – across the back wall only or making it a reverse L shape – the cardboard box marks the height of said banquette.  Unfortunately I have no idea what I like best so the building of said banquette might have to wait until I am home, but in the meantime if anyone can find a “Tulip” dining table with a dark base and glass top it would be much appreciated as all I can find is ……..

• Black Base Black Marble Top
• White Base White Marble Top
• White Base Glass Top
• Red !!!!

If you are unsure what a Tulip Table looks like it is Mid Century Modern style…….

If you can think of any other table that you think would look fantastic please *link* me 🙂
