Its just visually really cool. From picture one I love the offset of the balcony/roof structure. Being able to see trough the glass "french" doors to the water balance it out. Great design

A Crazy Cheap Cabana Made From Repurposed Materials

Very interesting! Haunted_Studio^ It is so funny my wife and I have a silhouette from Disney as well that brings back so many memories! It was done about 4 years ago when we were dating. We took a road-trip from AZ up through Oregon and back down to Disneyland on the way home. Every time we look at it brings back so many wonderful memories

I agree with Rayma above^. It is tough to make guests feel comfortable if the table they are eating at is not open underneath. Not only do they bash their knees but they will always have to be bending over when they eat.

I have seen a trick before about creating a fold down table. You could put hinges on a table top (salvaged from an old table or made new) and mount it either to the back of a kitchen cabinet that faces out into the living room, or just to a wall. Fold out legs with hold it in place when it is in the "up" positional and when folded the table top will fold back onto the wall.

You could even do the top chalkboard paint so the when it is folded against the wall you have a functioning chalkboard for wall art or grocery lists. When it is folded out as a table you could decorate the top with the names of the guests and the locations of their seat, or the menu for the evening. You could even write the names of the dishes or drinks you are serving, and draw arrows to the actual dish, drink glass, or pitcher.

Have fun!

Tips for Using a Coffee Table for Dinner Parties?
Good Questions

It is actually really interested to me. It actually seems to me that a lot of children have this deep rooted passion for books. Even if they don't express it immediately they love them. Don't guys think?

I love to give books as presents. Thanks for sharing!

The Paralam Reclaimed beans are so cool! I love that you left them exposed. It adds to the modern eco vibe yet still reminiscent of the vintage charm. It seems like the way you installed them is a great way to drop the ceiling height down and make a cozy atmosphere in the living room. Great work!

In our craft room I have vintage wire baskets to house sewing and craft supplies. They are especially used for fabric though so you can see all of the colors and textures through the wire.

I always love children Bible story books. They are so sweet. My wife is a nanny for a little three year old boy and everyday before his nap, he says a little prayer...so cute!

^Hunted - Thanks for posting the designer of the sling chairs I couldn't think of the name. They are without a doubt the standout of this space.

You have to love the warmth the Reclaimed materials add; the exposed beams, duct-work, and brick set the tone. I love the vintage knick-knack shelf. You can't beat the original Eames shell chairs. And, my favorite is the lighted "S" sign.

Great job guys!

It is hard to choose my favorite but I think the second one from Barn Light Electric might have to be the winner. So cool! The old fashioned filament bulbs really add to the look though don't you think?

That Saarinen-esque table is awesome! That patina on the top is priceless.

Great tips...I will definitely have to keep them in mind next time we go shopping. My wife and I actually get all of our produce from a local co-op called Bountiful Baskets. We bring our own basket (no packaging waste) and it is filled with the fresh produce of the week. Its wonderful!

Thanks

How To Shop Green in the Grocery Store?
Good Question

I Love this! How often do we drive home from work, pull up in the garage and never see our neighbors. I think this is a really great way to get people to think and support local. I am going to check out if there is one near me!

Thanks for the post.
