AW: Reclaimed Wood Wall & Table Help

[Bad Dingo]

We just finished our living room accent wall, re-tiled the fireplace, built a new mantle and put up reclaimed barn wood.  We LOVE it! 

Question - we had to get a new console table for the electronics and DH bought the one you see in the pics from IKEA and then hacked it to fit our needs.  I feel like it's way too low, any suggestions for what to do with it/that area?  He's going to make a concrete top for it (to tie into our kitchen counters) so that will raise it up a few more inches.

*POOF*

No suggestions, but I love that wall!! I want to do something similar in our bedroom as a headboard.

Thanks! It was a lot more work than we expected, but totally worth it.

The wall is beautiful. I love your choice of tile, too.

I love that wall

That looks awesome! I love the reclaimed wood!

My first thought when I saw the console cabinet was to make a cushion for the top of it. It seems really low for what it is but I think if you gave it a dual purpose it would look much better. Other than that I have no idea. I'm definitely not a decorating pro.

A cushion isn't a bad idea! We'd never actually sit on it, but it is the right height.

I don't have any suggestions either, but I wanted to say that I love how everything turned out!

No suggestions, just a compliment: it looks fantastic

[Marmee]

Looks awesome!

Again, it looks wonderful!

Pretty, I want to do this in my house

Love the wall! Is the console sturdy enough that you could sit on it? I'd be hesitant to do a cushion otherwise because I wouldn't want to deal with having to tell guests not to sit on it.
