Absolutely GORGEOUS but also half on our dining room rug and half off. Ever so slightly off kilter. I then decided to scoot it off of the rug and come up with some ways to create visual weight on the side that now has more wall space between the cabinet and the curtains. In addition, with the almost 12′ height of our ceilings, it absolutely needed a little visual height as well…
