[quote=Anonymous]It makes no sense not to sell some of the bigger pieces AND buy new furniture, if you are trying to save for a DP and move into a new house. Are you really sure you will be able to move into a much bigger place? Maybe just keep the larger pieces that you really love (and make them work in your current house by decluttering and downsizing some other furniture) and sell the large pieces you don't love as much.

We have large pieces as well, in a small apartment. A large bookcase, and a large heavy TV console - but since their capacity is so large it is hard not to store so many things in them, things I don't have a true need for and might otherwise get rid of. Sometimes I feel we'd be better off without them, even though they are high quality pieces.

Yes you can mix wood colors. Our bedroom contains pine side tables, cherry chests, and a walnut bed! But they all work together because they have similar design elements. I think it's even better to not have everything be so matchy-matchy.

Did you check out Crate and Barrel for tables? We got a pretty good one for 500 when we needed something reasonable in a short time frame - the Avalon table (though don't love the finish, so look carefully) not expensive but maybe a step above Ikea.[/quote]
