Well, we had a small snafu with the C&B order. Apparently when I placed the phone order it went through as the Belmont Kitchen Island -not the High Dining Table. Only after schlepping 45 minutes to the warehouse today to pick it up, and watching Todd lug a 175 pound box through the door, open and unwrap all the pieces, and pull out the island top - did I realize that something had gone awry.
However both pieces are the same price and though the dimensions are different, I was not about to have Todd re-wrap the entire thing. So he went ahead and assembled it.
I'm happy with it. And the room was plenty big for it. I think it ends up working a bit better with the space given that its rectangular. Not sure what to do about the rug -- or if I even need it. The good thing is I have more storage with this island than I would have with the table.
As you can see I also went out and picked up two saddle stools. The same ones you sent, and I got them at Target for 49. Oh and Josh has already fallen off once. :) I'm sacrificing decor for child safety. (I hope no one from child services ends up finding this blog.)
It looks great! Happy accident--seems like it really pulls the kitchen together and adds a lot of functionality to what used to be "dead" space. I really like the stools too (I'm laughing that Josh has already fallen off once--I'm sure he'll get used to them).
ReplyDeleteI don't think you need a rug. In fact, it could make the room look smaller and get in the way. Just add a pretty hand towel and it will look finished! Glad it worked out and that you're happy with it. Josh seems to like it. :)
