Fall Dining part 2

Yesterday, we looked at a couple of fantastic fireplace options.  Today, you will need seating and the vibe I want to achieve is rustic.  There is something about fall that always makes me think of stews and home made soups, good wine and bread.


To obtain a rustic look in your dining area there are several solutions:

Copper top tables are elegant but have a rustic touch. if you choose a copper top table you will want to place it in a space that is covered.

Simply polish with a good quality wax occasionally and it should last for many years.




OW Lee creates a hammered copper table top in a variety of sizes and shapes, The natural patina will change over time, adding to the character of the piece.

Bases and chairs are your choice - From decorative scroll work bases to something less complicated.

With any of these looks, you are going to be able to achieve a rustic look and feel.  Adding chairs is the same - Simply, choose something you like the look and feel of!  The chairs below are all from the same collections as the bases shown above.  However, if your comfortable in matching what's available, find something that you love!

Stone Top Tables

Handcrafted from select Italian marble and travertine, all tabletops from Ancient Mosaic Studios are made in the USA by skilled artisans.  Each table is unique, of heirloom quality, and backed by a 6-year warranty.  The company offers more than 45 designs in 30 standard sizes and offers you custom stone and color detailing. Using only the finest materials and a double coating of the company's own Stone Enhancing Sealer, Ancient Mosaic Studios produces tabletops of unsurpassed quality and simply stated, the best stone and marble tabletops in the marketplace.



Below are two very beautiful bases for the stone top, depending on the look you seek, They carry both faux-stone and aluminum bases. Supporting substantial weight is not an issue with either base.


With dining chairs your choices are truly endless.  You can choose from any company and any style.  Just make sure you allow enough room for the arm on the chair to fit under the table!


The next piece of the puzzle will be be floral and tablescapes.
