How To Decorate a Small or Gloomy Apartment on a Budget....
Comments (2)Decorating a small apartment on an even smaller budget can be a tricky task. The goal is to create a living area that is comfortable, and enjoyable, while at the same time maximizing your space, and minimizing the amount of cash spent on the whole design project....See MoreAntique Desk that Converts to Dining Table
Comments (20)My grandparents had this same style desk that converted to a dining room table. The style was slightly different, but the exact same concept. Their desk was all solid wood (from what I remember) and was not a dark wood, but very light in color. This was back in the '60's when I was grade school age. They had it for years and years. It was a beautiful piece of craftsmanship. I wish I knew what happened to it....See MoreHelp with layout of our new small living/dining space
Comments (8)Just wanted to thank groveraxle, and hollybar for taking the time respond and share some design suggestions. We haven't received our keys yet, but I am just sharing some photos of how the realtors had decided to stage the property. What we didn't mainly like about the way it was staged was that the focal point of the living room was looking right into the kitchen. In addition, having the dining table on the opposite side, and not next to the kitchen seemed a bit odd, to us at least. Thanks again for your suggestions, as well as suggestions for furniture options! My wife found another potential sofa below as well: https://www.structube.com/en/falcon-3-seater-sofa-46-19-68?pid=18218...See MoreKitchen island as only dining? Ideas for small kitchen/living room?
Comments (3)I don’t know if you ever finished your kitchen, but in case you did not, and in case others come across this thread, I thought I would tell what we did. We remodeled our kitchen using a 24 year-old high end kitchen from a kitchen charity reseller (Green Demolitions). It had a huge island that I could fit into our space if we did not have a kitchen table. I have lifelong knee problems and could hardly rise off a regular chair height, so moving to 24” kitchen stools sounded like a solution. We went with the island, with space for four to comfortably sit. It turns out that my knees don’t much like sitting on stools, either. We are a family of two and take our meals in our recliners, anyhow. The issue became how to have people over and sit comfortably. Then I discovered convertible furniture of Italian design! They make coffee tables that rise up on scissor legs to dining height with tops that swivel 90 degrees and open like a book, doubling their size. There are other designs as well, all creating full size dining tables. We found a leather sofa at Macy’s that has a seat height of 20” and we keep our old dining chairs in the basement to bring out when people visit. Our family room is now easily and quickly converted to a dining room with banquette seating. Here is where I got our table. If you live near NYC there are local choices, too. https://expandfurniture.com...See Morechispa
