Remove the legs, and put black hairpin legs on it. I think a 9" would look fabulous. I have a very similar bookcase, and it looks wonderful with hairpin legs.

You can order them there.

I totally agree. However, my wife & I just had a very very similar table custom built for our home, 44x68, made of pine. Rustic, heavy, and with tons of character - for only $350 from a gentlemen, named Scott, who lives near Joliet. He took our inspiration photo, located here: http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/ny/small-cool-2008-international/international-finalist-aads-compact-dwelling-050421
did a fantastic job, and hand delivered to our apartment in Rogers Park for free.

If anyone is interested, I would love to refer him to anyone who is interested in custom, rustic farm tables, and wonderful service. Please email me if you would like his email address.

My wife and I love our table. It's heavy, blocky, and rustic used pine. We just ordered it from a guy on Craigslist (Chicago). He took our inspiration photo, which we found on AT's Small Cool, and he duplicated it for only $350, and delivered it 50 miles to our door. We have black Eames shell chairs, and canary yellow steelcase chairs. Looks awesome!

the tub in the post is probably not painted. it appears to be a metallic film, or aluminum cover. or perhaps, the tub is originally that color, and the inside was painted white! GOOD LUCK!!!

Karen,
Can we see more pictures of your white brick? I have an exposed brick loft, all we're contemplating painting it all white! How did you do it? How much? etc. BTW, the floors look superb.

wow. I love your space. In fact, my wife and I have an all exposed brick soft loft, and we're struggling with the idea of painting our entire place white. We love the look of white brick. That being said, did you do the painting yourself? If so, was it really difficult? We need inspiration and encouragement!!! Thanks.

I think it also depends on the placement of your sofa. Are you floating it in the room, or up against a wall? If all four legs are easily visible, then you may want to keep the legs on your armchairs thin, and light. But, I don't think it's a problem to have a mix of steel and wood legs. Less matchy matchy is always better I think. If you have the gray version of that sofa, perhaps a bright red or orange armchair, with dark wood accents would be a nice combo. good luck.

well, we went with Owyn, because that spelling is used most often in Wales, where my family is from. Hope that helps "clykchyk".

in response to the question about Jubilee. A resounding yes! My wife, my son, and I were there this past weekend, and surprisingly met SarahC there as well. We made out with 7 chairs (dining & lounge) for only $91.00. We live in Rogers Park, so it was about a 50 minute journey there (be sure you have GPS, unless you're familiar with that suburb). Well worth the visit. Great volunteers.
