Being budget minded, I am sort of digging these:

Also, we just got a 6 month old puppy over the weekend, so we rolled up the white rug for another day and put down an old traditional red oriental for the time being. Oh yes, the compromises we make.

Wow. You nailed it. Thanks for the links. If you could see the window seat area adjacent to the living room that I have outfitted with natural woven floor pillows and colorful throw pillows and the farm table next to the granite countertops, you would see this is very much what we have going on.

I LOVE the coffee tale in that architect's photo. Maybe we'll need to look at reclaim wood shops...

there is a great shop in brooklyn with this sort of farmhouse modern/general store aesthetic that i love, Moon River Chattel. Know anything similar in the Bay area? We're newcomers here.

The couch is from Furniture Envy in the Marina, a fairly new business.

threadbare - i agree with you about the end table. it was a bit of a disappointment when it came.
i love the collapsible metal one on overstock.

the forest or adesso(although i don't love the base) coffee tables could be options.

by affordable, i'm thinking under $300, which the forest(my fave so far, is not)

i just refinished the farm table, varnish drying. so that part of the room is a big mess right now.

plus, for color, we have bright orange jasper morrison 'air' dining chairs coming, on sale at dwr for $112.

great ideas. i thought maybe the cb2 glass top metal frame coffee table or the cb2 peek-a-boo lucite coffee table.
the cube idea is intriguing, as well as an oval or round shape.
any examples?

about the angling, we thought about it but the space works better how it is with a farm table about 6 feet behind the couch.
