starting to shop for KITCHEN FURNITURE & LIGHTING

We are entering the pretty stage of our kitchen renovation so we need to start hunting for a dining room table, lighting, hardware and more! Today we are measuring and getting a feel for what will fit in the space.

An off-centered table would drive me crazy. I agree with all the comments above: table with a leaf to keep it centered on the daily or running lengthwise. Whatever you decide, it's sure to be beautiful!

[lynnconroy]

I figured the table would run the other way. With the length of the room.

[chrisray]

I agree with Romeo - there’s a difference between thrift stores, consignment shops, and second hand boutiques. Mainly pricing and luxury vs non-luxury and higher end items. 😊

[saraw]

Maybe a table with a leaf. You would only open it to an off center position when you are serving a larger group.

[m-wfyd]

Love how this is shaping up but I really think the table needs to be aligned long-ways with the beams, otherwise the way you are positioning it now cuts off the walk-thru flow of the room. Could do a table with three chairs on each side but no end chairs to help with walking space.

[katelynnbolte]

I just saw that others commented the same thing, but my first thought was that the table needs to run parallel with the beams. It flows better with the walk space. I really think you would enjoy this layout and the flow, plus it makes the space feel grander. Also, with kids you are going to want the extra “room” to move around.

Going back to Love Language, Words of Affirmation are more than compliments. It’s reassurance, reassurance that your partner is choosing you, not only physically but emotionally. Its reassurance that whatever storm you weather, its a together thing, you’re never alone. Those of us who suffer from anxiety or a checkered romantic past need those words because it’s not always easy. Especially when you’ve been made to feel like you aren’t worthy or are undeserving of love. Compliments are nice, but words of affirmation are another level of love.

The way Kinsley's baby gets thrown across the room at 6.42 had me in tears rewatching it over and over again.

[emmakredmon]

I would do the table long ways then you can look out the beautiful french doors to the backyard while you're eating!

[raissamachado.s]

When you talked about the possible explosion on the dresser, I could only look at that BEAUTIFUL painting on top of it. Maybe that also needs some sort of protection 😂😂😂

[ginamaria]

Maybe the table could run along with the beans. You could try it and see if you love it 👍☺️

[adagriffis]

Kinsley cracks me up! She's so interested in what is in the boxes. Love her.

[daniellelucy]

For your hospital bag, I would focus less on what you “think” you need and more on what will make you feel comfortable & taken care of. The hospital supplies a ton of necessities. I included a lot of favorite snacks, comfy sleep dresses, & my essential grooming supplies. Anything that helps you feel human as you go through such a big change is necessary ❤

[victoriamorgan]

I think it's worth considering running the table the other way

[cynthiapitts]

What about turning the table parallel to the beams instead of going across the room.

[lauragutierrez]

Omg, Kinsley flinging her toy behind you was so funny 😂😂😂

[ulrikewei]

Mother of four here - not ONE of them took a pacifier! Even the one who was born pretty premature spit it out with mighty force! So I do wish you luck with it - I always envied other mums with the magical tool to stop the screams....
For the table problem: maybe a big round one, beautifully centered on normal days, but expandable for the family and friends gatherings? The added bonus in my opinion would be with the then extended oval table that you can sit easily two people on both headsides not just one. And in daily life with kids you gain more moving space - and more fun chasing your toddler in a circle round and Love from Bavaria!

[xxstrongrulesxx]

Have you considered having the table go in the opposite direction, since the room looks longer than wide.

[tammyleviner]

Kinsley is so funny, she's right there checking things out when you're opening packages..i can see her when you bring the baby home, she's going to be checking him out fully😂 But i bet they'll be best buds. But when she threw her toy up in the air behind you😂 she's precious tho! Ok we're fist getting to the pretty stage of the reno, the exciting finishing touches! Yayyy!!

[freckles]

That super long brass antique light you found a few vlogs ago is literally perfect!! It would fill in the space beautifully!!
