Find of the Week has been found! At Suzanna's Antiques

I popped into Suzanna's Antiques this afternoon and found this fabulous little table just for you:

It's sitting in front of the shop that says "Ye Old Trading Post."  There are so many vendors at Suzanna's that I have to really pay attention to where I see things.  This table is wood, very  nice lines and just needs a bit of sanding to make it ready for your next project.

What could you do with this?  Well, first of all, it's a perfect coffee table.  It could also be a craft table for kids.  It could be a console in front of a low window, holding plants or family photos.  It could sit on the front porch or the screened-in back porch.  It could be painted a snappy shade like lime.  Marine blue.  Coral.  Panetone's-color-of-the-year honeysuckle (pink). It could just be stained or even given a clear coat(or 3) of satin poly that lets the wood grain shine. Or how about having a stainless top fitted over it?  Better, yet, a copper one.  I'm looking for a local source to do that very thing on another old piece.

Need a creative interior designer to help you come up with ideas like this?  Well, check out my website and give me a call!

Oh!  Didn't I tell you the price on this? $15.00.  Yes indeedy, $15.  I had to take myself by the hand and walk away from it so that I could give you a fair shot at it.  I was at Suzanna's for about 10 minutes when I spotted this and had already found a couple of other "finds" to show you.  This one won out because it has the combination of decent quality to work with, nice versatile shape AND a price that can't be beat. 

 You are welcome.  Enjoy the weekend.

Ciao,

Find of the week

There's a nice antique mall once again in Cameron Village!  Cheshire Cat Gallery is downstairs, right next door to Accipiter.  The address is 2050 Clark Ave, Raleigh.  Store phone is 919-835-9595.  They have a nice mix of vendors, with new ones coming in all the time.  Remember when Raleigh Antique Mall was there--it was such a good place and I've missed it terribly.  AND, if that's not enough good news, it's also the latest location for hipsteria, which is a wonderful source for mid century modern finds!

Here's a photo of the hipsteria area.  Ohhhh, ahhhh.

And that leads me to this week's "Find of the Week"  It's in the hipsteria booth.


This is a Wieman coffee table with Italian marble top.  Long and thin.  My guess is that it's about 60" long by 16" wide.   Lovely legs.  Perfect height.  Very clean lines, very beautiful top.  We're always looking for a fab coffee table, are we not?  Well here is a fab coffee table.  $289.00   It's still in the shop as I type this, I just checked.
