Limp, maybe? Like it's slouching, almost, and I think it looks too loose next to the clean lines of your console and wainscoting. So I choose option #1! But if you already chose option #2, awesome: like I said, the colour and the lid are terrific :)April @ Money Pit Lovenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1189121861977780830.post-66941907136285042062012-06-18T04:24:27.234-04:002012-06-18T04:24:27.234-04:00Hi h2h!

It's so nice to have it open and airy - especially in the summer months. If you keep a basket - you could put beach towels, umbrellas, park toys, newspapers, magazines in there? Also - this is a bit picky - but how about sticking the Kleenex container in the console? Thanks for being so open about sharing your home (and decision making) with us!
