lilithfiend 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2010 Ooo... looks like we are all going to DIY our dining table! If my door tabletop doesn't work out I'll be going down to Ikea to do the same thing... yea no choice! very hard to find nice dining tables in the market that don't cost a bomb. great info there! thanks much but don't you guys think that 62cm width is a tad too narrow for a dining table? eyeing the STENSTORP kitchen island as a dining table. But not sure if the stainless steel plate that covers one side of the legs is removable. 62cm is a little narrower than we'd like but because IKEA worktops are sized that way, we can't really do much about it short of going to a wood shop to buy a larger table top.. You're most welcome. Remember to share pics. sure thing..look forward to seeing yours as well..! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
curryqueen 0 Report post Posted May 26, 2010 great info there! thanks much but don't you guys think that 62cm width is a tad too narrow for a dining table? Maybe what can be done is to use 1 countertop (62cm) as a base, then place 2 countertops on top of it (the 2 countertops meeting at the centre with overhang from the base and cutting it to desired width)... like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sfk7 0 Report post Posted May 26, 2010 That would add some significant cost and weight to the design isn't it? I haven't really gotten down to check the prices but if 180x75 wood from suppliers is comparable then can use the legs from ikea. That would solve the problem.

I had literally no time to document the reno. Anyway, we've moved into our new home although there is still a couple of loose ends to tie up renovation wise. Here are some pics for the time being; Kitchen View of kitchen from dining area Keen observers may notice that we're missing a hob... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

titanax 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2010 (edited) hey earthboy (nice nick, i wonder how many caught on) thats a fine house you got there! the whole wood theme is pretty much in tune with what we have in mind too..keeping my finger's crossed that mine can turn out as classy i love the spice rack, its simple yet so aesthetically pleasing especially the vibrant colors on the lower rack! edit: removed quoted images Edited June 9, 2010 by titanax Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lilithfiend 0 Report post Posted June 9, 2010 welcome back 3rdrock! the house turned out really nicely! love so many things about your kitchen...the sink, the oh-so-american washer & dryer..the dishwasher which is so cute laminated! the dining table came out fair-er than i thought it would though. any plans to stain it? it looks a bit too "white" for the surroundings, if u get what i mean. well, as long as you're happy with it!

sfk7 0 Report post Posted June 9, 2010 Nice dining table!! Am i seeing 2 pieces of solid wood for the top? Did you source for the wood or any of the materials on your own? If you can add the dimensions of the wood that would be best Haha... lots of questions hope you don't mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
