Do you have a coffee table in front of the TV?
Comments (19)In the middle of a long drawn out revamp, coffee table relegated to the tip, it absence planned to last unsuitable within the new decor. But I missed it.!!!! And needs must. I discovered that using our old, 'long tall Sally' wooden stool was actually great for my coffee cup and nibbles. Matter of fact it looks rather cool. So I'm on the look out for a twin for my next project. Just need to decide what colour to paint them....See MoreAny ideas on what I could do with this space?
Comments (10)Hi Laura, I think you need to bear in mind that this is a walk way through to the dining area and it is at the bottom of the stairs. So we can't go for something very large. I would agree that a radiator cover is a good idea. In white is will help break the colour up and hide the radiator but it will also give a ledge. I would place a plant for a nice vibrant feel adding some great freshness to the space and maybe the odd accessories - so 'a' book with a candle or small vase. A picture above it will help bring some accent colour into the space which you can take from your own furnishings or introduced. Based on the width of cover you go for - I see a plug there - so you could also add another layer and height of lighting with a lamp. This will add a great feel to the space. I hope that helps :) All the best....See Morecould you help me find this coffee table?

Comments (1)Hi. Just been browsing Pinterest and remembered your post. Did you buy the table? It’s very classical, think they refer to it as a regency style drum table. If you plan to re paint a different colour there’s no need to strip it, just sand lightly and paint over the top. I don’t think you’d be able to restore it to its original glory tho, looks like it had a leather top which has been scraped off. So many ways you could decorate it tho. Here’s some ideas:...See Morerachelmidlands

6 years agoThanks both. I definitely won't be leaving as is I'm afraid as I really dislike the finish...it looks very like something that should belong in my grans house. We are going for smoked oak on the floor...that pic of the granite makes it look really orange but it's actually more bronze gold colour. Think the table will clash badly with flooring too!!! But yes...i will live with it before making a decision. Someone suggested painting it pewter like the cabinet in the attached but is that too cheapy. I had wondered either black or dark grey on bottom and oakcolour on top or bronze at the bottom and black top but I guess time will tell.
