Hi all, just wanted to do a quick post and show you the table I changed up a bit. It didn't turn out perfect by any means, but I really like how it turned out.
I was inspired by a photo that I saw on Tracey's blog "French Larkspur", but of course, who isn't inspired by her lovely home?!!
She had a small table placed in front of her vintage mantle with chairs and I just loved how it looked.
I had a small table , but the top wasn't very big, so I removed the reclaimed barn wood from my coffee table and put it on top of the smaller table. I had to place the top a little off center because the 2 end pieces of wood were separate pieces and I wouldn't have been able to nail it to the table properly.
It took a while to remove the wood from the the coffee table and a lot of not so nice words, but it was worth it in the end, I got the look that I was looking for.
I replaced the old wood knob with a vintage milk glass knob.
My vintage French cake plate ~ Love it!
I hung my petite chandelier over the table. This is one of my favorites.
I have some very special chairs coming soon to go around the table, I can't wait to get them.
This will be the perfect spot for my oldest son to do his homework and to have his snacks.
Now, I just have to make a new top for my coffee table, the projects never end, do they?
But that's okay, I love having projects around the house to do, it makes me happy!~
Hope you all have a beautiful day, it's already hot here in So Cal and I'm off to watch my son's square dance performance.
Sincerely,
~Melinda
