Before:

Very brown and boring. I wanted to add some color
After:

I decorated with things I already had and bought some things from Ikea. The rug, pillow, a red trash can, and water pitcher (for some plants I have) came from Ikea.
The other table (in the before picture) was bigger but wasn't the style I wanted in the room (It's also actually a Japanese dining table).
I found a new one that was just what I wanted:

I got this really cheap ($8 ) at a thrift store which was a chance thing. It's solid walnut and I found out it's from a popular maker of modern furniture from the 50's and 60's.
I'm still looking for a low cabinet in the same style for my TV.
