Changing Things Up

Back around Christmas time, I had a wild hair to move some things around.  My Ikea expedit has always been in the hallway nook leading to the family room.

I like it here but the area underneath the mirror in the dining room was empty.  So I moved the expedit here.  I posted it on Facebook and several of you seemed to like the change.

I don't completely love it but like the expedit fills in the gap.

With this change, the hallway nook now becomes empty.  I would love an open console table to display baskets and other large decor items.

I love the openness on this one.  The mix of wood and metal give it a rustic feel which I'm open to.

This one pairs nicely with the striped walls.source

This one is gorgeous but a little above my budget.

I could DIY one of my own like this.

I also like this parson style table with stools or ottomans tucked underneath.

I'm still debating on a few options before I pull the trigger on purchasing anything.  Any suggestions?
