Do not mistake me, I'm not slamming IKEA, or similar low priced brands, but it is what it is, "low-priced knockoffs". It's really up to the individual to determine whether or not they really want a table as an investment or if they prefer a knock off piece to temporarily offer "a look". I enjoy the variety here, I'm a admirer of the Cherner as well as the modern-day clean lines of the Blue Dot. Regarding functionality, to each their own. I prefer to not have people perched uncomfortably upon the ends of a dining table, knocking legs with all the other people. This dining room table allows for a functional condition for discussion without having to sacrifice style.So very cool.

I enjoyed reading your observations and remarks and definately will look forward to implementing a number of your recommendations when they are applicable to my situation. In fact I've got a colleague right now who is the midst of a big redecorating situation and maybe I can help out.

Never. Whether it is grey or a light mocha I have always painted... however I too, like you, am starting to see the beauty of white walls- I really, really like it! <br /><br />I hope you can convince the boyfriend to let you repaint... especially if it will make you happy :)<br /><br />xoxo You know I have always been a color on the walls person too… an apartment that just stays white?!

The dining room had been burgundy, but I chose to paint it gray - which took a full day with 4 people. <br /><br />I feel really bad after all the work that went into painting the dining room gray, but now I'm realizing it looks so blah and I need to warm it up. It's hard to make a Victorian home built in 1900 look modern. My first instinct is to go white, but I'm wondering if I should go to a color... I think I'm going to try to work with the gray and maybe try out some decals and a rug.
