I need more decorating help???

I posted a while back that I was moving into a new apartment, and I need help with the furniture. I have a kitchen, living room combo. The walls are a light sage green. The Kitchen cabinets are a light/medium cherry with light granite counter top. The floors are Brazilian cherry wood.
Okay, so now I need help with the furniture. We are definite on this sofa (brown one) and this kitchen set. Now I need help with picking the coffee table, side table, and TV console. Here are a few that I picked out. I have a pretty small space.


Here are a pic of the table and sofa we picked.

well, it's hard to picture w/o pics of your place, but my advice is...


with all the warm/ reddish tones cherry wood, try to make all the wood furniture you buy have similar warm / reddish / cherry-ish tones. That will bring everything together. Then anything else you add will have a sense of cohesion........

Here are pics of the coffee table, TV stand, and side tables. Most of these come in either Mahogany stain, black or Expresso.

So, do you think Mahogany would look good with the black furniture. Also, the top of the kitchen table is cherry.

yeah, anything warm / reddish. If you have a leftover piece of flooring or one of your cabinet doors can pop off, you could take those with you when you shop. Then you know how the stuff you choose will go.......
