The same table.......


Don't you just love it when you are flicking through one of your favourite magazines.....Country Homes and Interiors ( Jan 2011 ) and you think..... mmm....I like that table......



Simple lines, straight legs, nice handles, good colour......

The table "sits" somewhere in your head..... and you move on through the pages.

Then a few days later you get the opportunity to buy a table.......

Which makes you gasp, because you have seen it somewhere before.


 Same simple lines, same straight legs.....same handles.



What are the chances of that happening?


So, having been jet washed, treated for woodworm and rapidly drying out in the kitchen..... I will soon have the task of sanding and painting....

Now, where did I put that paint chart?

 Have a lovely weekend....

    Wow that's a find and a half! I'm on the look out for something similar, but I don't think I will be as lucky as you! Looking forward to seeing the end product!

    Not sure if that is serendipity or synchonicity but it's very lucky!

    Will you explain how you jet wash a piece of furniture (unless a trade secret!), I sometimes see pieces with potential but don't know how to clean them efficiently? Gorgeous side table by the way.

    How cool is that? It is a lovely table. It caught my eye too in the magazine.

    What colour? Ooooh, the endless possibilities of loveliness stretch before you...

    It was meant to be! Looking forward to seeing it painted, though I do like it as it is.
