She's Got Legs

I spotted this table as I was leaving my favorite used furniture store. I had already paid for the prints and frames and there she was, holding up a HUGE chandelier, hiding. I came to the store actually looking for a table to put in the center of a room, It should be an eye catcher, a piece with serious personality. I had originally thought a pedestal table was what I wanted but after much searching decided that most were too heavy for the space. I needed something a bit more refined. 


What I noticed first were the legs. I mean HELLO! Yes, this table is it. Not a fan of the finish but that is easily changed. Can you imagine how striking this table will be in a gorgeous black?





12 dollars: black and white print and gold frame, timeless.
 All in all it was a good day at the re-sale shop!

    I love the claws!

    I just saw a photo of a high school friend's kitchen table. It might be a bit much when paired with those legs and the detail around the edges of your table...

    She burned some scrolls/flourishes around a grid and then stained random squares in the grid with multiple colors. It's beautiful! Here's a link: http://www.facebook.com/reqs.php#!/photo.php?fbid=190961229351&set=a.403644489351.180529.723274351

    You did get some good finds - love the details on the table and the little claw feet. I never seem to find such good furniture at our thrift stores and when I do they are actually quite expensive.

    I have a table that is very similar. It belonged to my grandparents and was likely purchased in the 1915-1920 period. Somewhere along the line, it was painted black and when my father inherited it, he painstakingly stripped it and refinished the wood. I keep picturing it painted black again but can't bring myself to do it. Styles keep recycling, don't they??

    The table is a great find. Love the feet on it. It would look great painted black. Or just kepp wood colored. Either way it's beautiful.

    Congratulations! You got an original print for only 12.00. I see by the markings that only 34 prints were made. Very nice!
