Sideboards - Dining room space

Did a little searching and found some sideboard possibilities.

I like the colour and style of the Cleveland Sideboard Buffet, by ModLoft. The price, not so much. This one is most similar to the one in the post below. Or not similar at all, but I like it. I am looking for long and narrow. Lighter wood.

The Ishu Glass Credenza Buffet, Dark Brown, by Aishni Home is very nice and roomy. All my serviettes will fit nicely in the cupboard and keep my cats from napping on them. Love dual functional items! But its a bit dark.

 

 

 

This sideboard from HomeStyles is simple and light and functional. Long and lean.

And lastly, the Wayborn buffet also looks great. Love the rustic appearance, but again, it may be to dark for me.

I have two others bookmarked but cannot get a photo. All buffets / sideboards were found at HomeFurnitureShowroom, and there are plenty more!

And since it did not become apparent while viewing buffets and sideboards, the difference between the two ... "These two terms are used interchangeably quite often, and for good reason"

Dining room idea for the nook

While browsing Bloesen, I came across this photo.

Admire the contemporary chandelier for a moment and then look through it. Not down, but if you do look down, take note of the lovely wooden table and then glance up to the sideboard and two open shelves.

I love the simple, yet oh so functional sideboard (and the light and the tea cups and table and the photography and the peaceful aura wafting through the dining room). I have a lot of pretty turkish bowls and some vases and maybe some teacups from my mom, that all need a sitting place. This would be ideal.

I too have a nook in my dining room to work with! How timely that I stumbled onto that picture. Timely not at all because I have oodles of other projects I am working.  My nook is currently host to two short book cases holding our art supplies.  There is a triptych (if I may) of windows in the nook, about 4.5 feet up, but I believe I can fit in the cupboards and a long shelf or two. A photo of my dining room last year, moving in week.

Trigger this; some wallpaper I have had bookmarked for a long time. Nooks perfect place to glue it!

Clearly not the same natural light or style but how close will I be able to transform my dining room to something similar! Or do I just get to admire the other photo.
