Is that all the same flooring in the first picture? It looks like two different colors so I'm not sure which you chose - or if the flooring just has a wide variation in the color.

Yes that is all the same flooring. It is one big sample piece.

Your flooring looks nice!

They both have a gray tone to them, right? Is the floor more yellow and the table more pink/red? I can't tell.

I think you could do a black table easily without worrying about it.... This particular one might be too close in tone without matching exactly....... but will you have a rug under it? With a rug, I doubt anyone would tell.

I would build the house first and then pick the table.

@fori Sorry. I should be clearer with my words but the house will be done the beginning of September.

@lolauren thank you for your advice! I do have an area rug that I'll be laying under it and I think you're right about a darker table.

But it makes a difference to actually stand in the room and look around. I'm not being snide--it's just that once you can actually BE there, your perspective can change and you might end up kicking yourself for being too proactive.
