This is the cocktail table I purchased for the Great Room. I decided to go with a formal table versus some of the more rustic tables I had been looking at....
It has an inset glass top that has been painted on the back side ("eglomise"). I like the design and the fact that the surface reflects light.
The table has a black rubbed back finish with gold accenting. (Double left click for a closer view).
Here are some close-ups of the finish. I like the curves and details of the base.
Here is the top... difficult to photograph because it 's 5 feet long.
Amy from Maison Decor recommended choosing a table with legs versus a table with a solid base because of the solidness of skirting on the sofas... good advice, thanks, Amy. The table does have legs and at 2 feet in height, was the tallest cocktail table I had seen... which is good visually because of the sofa skirting. Hard to show, but I think the height of the table can be seen in these pics....
From a different angle....
With both sofas....
I plan on doing ceiling to floor window treatments and although I like the area rug, I want to find a larger rectangular rug that can run under each couch (with the long sides running parallel to the fireplace). I'm going to go with the same general colors and tones but maybe a lighter background where the table is positioned so that it stands out more.
