CHIPPY VINTAGE TABLE

I fall in love with perfect patina...

not too dark- not too light but just right

and with lots of chippy rusty goodness...

it gets me every time

 I love vintage iron pieces and old patio dining sets especially.

The old leaves, flowers and scrolly designs are delightful

and love the little flower pot holder underneath.

This shade of green is so charming

I love when I find pieces that are already a perfect color

and show their age so beautifully.

This vintage garden table and the matching four chairs

were a craigslist find last year for $80.

I adored the set when I first saw it

and

was head over heels for the green and rusty crusty loveliness.

I placed it outside in the back yard last year

and did a Valentines post and a winter garden dining post.

When the weather started getting yucky

I moved it under our pergola to keep it protected a bit more.

Uhhm... yeah...

I should have left it out in the open.

After the insane pergola incident, the table and chairs were under that mess.

Amazingly, they were fine - other than a broken glass tabletop.

The french doors and pergola were another story.

I thought about replacing the glass...

and looked around a bit at different pieces

but decided on a different look for this little darling table.

A few random sized pieces of pine and cedar

( even a piece of old knotty pine from one of the house walls- love that)

and

these left over planks of wood became

a beautiful shabby tabletop.

A perfect little spot to sew & work on projects

 I just love the look of the different widths of wood together

and the quirky look some of them have.

Together they are so charming and the table is just perfect in my

*almost finished up*

office space.

Yep...almost finished.

Guess I better get back to work!
