Switcheroo – Tulip Edition

Posted: February 20th, 2011 | Filed under: House Tour | Tags: | 12 Comments »

What do you do when there’s a lot on your mind?  Rearrange of course.  Free therapy for your home and mind!

Swapped out the lucite and zebrawood for the tulip table and removed the rug.  I’m liking the size and scale of this table MUCH better….BUT…that’s 2 – 4 tulip bases in one room. Boo.  Current thoughts are that I’ll leave it until I can scavenge something else similar in size?  Talk to me.

    I’m lovin’ the tulip edition! With those incredible diamond chairs, who really notices how many tulip bases you’ve got going on anyway!! ;)

    First, I love the modular!

    I wrestled with the same concern in my open space – 2 Saarinen tables. One in the kitchen and a side in the living room. It kept bothering me, so I moved the side into the bathroom beside my tub. I don’t know what’s “right” or “wrong”.

    btw – I think you did a fab job on that table top and the lucite base.

    Thanks! While I feel certain this arrangement is a no-no…It functions like I want it to, so it stays for the mo!

    I think it looks great as is, but if you want an idea, my vote would be for a burl root table. Hotness.

    AGREED. If I could acquire some burliness, I’d be very pleased….if only I lived near The Brick House, I’d happily buy some cast-off burl!

    Very nice! I agree that sectional is great. I seen a similar one pop up on Craig’s awhile back but the color was all wrong and the price to rich for my po’ folk blood.

    I’m liking the little tulip table there. You’re right, it works with the shape of your sofa so well. If you don’t mind me asking, what is the stain on your hardwood floor? I need to redo mine (they’re basically orange – don’t ask), and I like the color and tone of yours.

    Kathy- Ebony stain over white oak….We used Verchota and loved them. A post on the floors is here http://modfrugal.com/2009/06/back-to-the-start/

    I had orangy pine floors once myself…I understand your frustration!

    I like the tulips together (is there a dirty joke in there somewhere?). They echo each other nicely without being overdone. And those curves are swank.

    Thanks for the tip! Our handyman actually suggested Verchota to us, so I need to give them a call! I’m off to read the post on your floors.

    Thanks again!

    [whistful sigh] The room is so lovely. Perhaps a tulip too many in the same vicinity, but jealousy-inducing none the less. I just found your blog through mid2mod and am in love. I’m your newest follower. I plan to return frequently to ogle.
