Dining room wishlist

We finally managed to get some of G's photographs, a large framed black and white poster of a Venice canal and a set of cube shelves hung up in the dining room, but we're still missing a table.

I'm getting pretty tired of sitting on the couch with a plate of food on a pillow to serve as my dining space, so hopefully in the next few months we can pick up the lovely round dining table we saw at Ikea that will fit in the space perfectly.

One of the things I've been aching for is a fireplace. Our downstairs rental has a lovely one (but can't get in there until I've finished school), and smelling everyone's fireplaces this winter has just made me desperate to have one of some sort in the house. After some searching and battling it out with G as to how decorative to go, we've come to a tentative agreement on this stainless steel, corner gel fuel fireplace from Overstock to be the one...

G wants us to use the chairs we already have from our other dining set, and it makes sense, but I've been thinking we should sell that table set as it's just sitting in the garage and I'm loathe to leave it sitting there doing nothing until we someday move into the main house. It'd be nice to have our garage to be used as it's meant to, and having that extra money to put away would be a major plus.

Ikea sells chairs that match the Bjursta table, and they have stainless steel legs, I think it'd be the perfect little extra of steel to match with the fireplace.
