For a while now, we have been wanting to upgrade the coffee/end tables in our living room to better fit our updated sofa. This is what our living room (kind of) looks like now:
I fell in love with this coffee table, and I went to look at it West Elm. (I may have even purchased it because it was on sale and on back order.)
And now I'm having second thoughts (to cancel or not to cancel my order...). X thinks we need end tables that match the coffee table, which I'm not so sure about, but it has led me to continue the seemingly endless search for a table. I'm looking for something structurally light (in appearance, if that makes sense). I think anything too bulky will make our room look tiny again, which I'm really trying to avoid. I'm also obsessed with mixing wood and metal elements. OBSESSED.
Here are some other options that I came up with:
I love that this table looks almost invisible in this room. However, X nixed this one because of the glass. Sad face that my anti-glass views have rubbed off on him.
I like the color combination of this table, but I'm not sure how I feel about the marble top. Yes it looks like wood, but will it look cheesy? Is it just as durable?
I think this might be my favorite. Not sure how I feel about the shape though- I think a rectangular/square table may fit the space better.
There is a fine line here between rustic and modern. This one leans more on rustic I think, but I like the dark wood + dark metal combo. And actually, the more I look at it, the more I don't like it. Blah.
So that's it. Some of these are out of my price range, and I really would like real wood, not veneer. I also prefer bronze/dark steel. I have looked on almost every furniture site under the sun, but can't seem to find something *just* right. Any further insight or suggestions are appreciated!
