Help choosing dining table and chairs please
Comments (8)I like options 1 and 2. If I'm honest, option 3 just wouldn't seem to do the rest of the space justice to my mind but that's just personal taste. Have you also thought of mixing a different style/period table with eames chairs or even mixing different eames chairs? The images i've found aren't quite what I had in mind but gives you an idea....See Moredining table & chairs dilema
Comments (1)Difficult to comment when we can't see an image which is needed really when you're talking about mixing styles. It can/can't work depending on the situation and products involved. How about recovering your existing chairs?...See MoreWhat style dining table & chairs?
Comments (8)If you have the bench built by a carpenter you should consider storage. You can have drawers (most expensive) openings for baskets (buy the baskets and build around it!) or top opening which would be good for things you don't need to get to very often. You could do a custom cushion to fit it or loose cushions, for the base cushion if you can't stretch to custom look at cushions for garden seating or Carolyn Donnelly in Dunnes (not sure if you have Dunnes) do rectangular flat cushions. Consider looking at a second hand website for a round table with pedestal and paint it if you don't like the finish. I find them for my clients all the time!! The one in the pic is IKEA I think and won't be very durable but a good stop gap option. You could also look at benches in IKEA and put together your own bench. It is worth the effort as you are sort of adding a sofa to the area and I am sure it will be one of your favourite bits of the house. Good luck with it!!...See MoreWhat style dining table & chairs?
Comments (6)How about an L shaped built in bench with storage underneath,an oblong table in front and then foldable chairs for extra seating when you have guests? I would put a large framed mirror on the wall opposite the window to reflect light and open up the space and some colourful art work on the wall opposite the door. If you can run to having a light fitting put in over the table, this would really make the area feel special!...See MoreHKay 27
5 years agoThanks for the feedback. My only worry with the industrial style bench set is whether the wood top of the table will clash with the lighter oak floor. I have attached pictures of the benches we are looking at, as well as the floor colour. Thanks again.

5 years agoWhat might work in that case is to sand the wood sections back to the original to remove any varnish/ oil and apply a limed oak/ oak countertop sealant. I've used the Rubio monocoat 2c product which has worked excellently. Of course there is labour involved in the sanding and application but if you want to achieve your perfect look it is worth investing the time/ cost. If you follow this route you can then apply a maintenance oil a few years later to bring back the fresh look. In this case you would not have to re-sand the wood sections. Hopefully this might help in deciding.
An example of a waterfall solid wood countertop setup we designed and applied the above mentioned is below:
