Have a Seat
Patience Smatience.
Yep, I know we don't have kitchen measurements yet. Did that stop me from picking kitchen cabinets and a layout? Nope.
Again yes, I know we don't have dining room measurements yet. Bet you can guess what I did. Bingo! I bought a dining table.
The cabin is compact so every square inch is as valuable as ocean-front property in Maui. That means everything must be sized appropriately, be efficient, and serve multiple functions if possible. We need a dining table that can be extended to seat up to 8 but don't want to store a table leaf somewhere. So the search was on for a dining table that has a self-containing leaf.
I scoured the internet for this magical unicorn - rustic Scandinavian modern style (whatever that is), butterfly or self-storing leaf, seats up to 8 reasonable well, not too big, and not a budget breaker. Let me tell ya - there aren't many options out there.
Good ol' IKEA has some. Glivarp is glass - I hate cleaning glass tables and it looks very modern so that one was quickly kicked out of the club. The other was the Bjursta table but I wasn't crazy about the colors available.
So the search was on. My inner cheapskate told me to keep an eye out on Craigslist. Several options, styles, sizes, and prices were found. I scored a great deal on this walnut table, and then immediately had buyers
Next we need seating. I have a few ideas on what would look good, be comfortable, and stay within budget. The chair options below come in several colors - white, black, turquoise, and blonde wood are the just some that could work. We may also incorporate a bench that doubles as storage.
Which one is your favorite?
