Today, my husband & I went out to grab some lunch & check out some antique/furniture stores. As of today, we've never had a formal dining table. Not because we don't like sitting down at a beautiful table to eat dinner, but because I never found the table. I've looked high & low, in between & all around, & could never settle on one I loved. (I refused to buy a cheap set that would "hold us over" in fear that we'd have it forever). So we went out in hopes of seeing something we'd like...
A new store opened in town, by interior designer Cheryl Collins; she carries the most exquisite, unique, & rare pieces of furniture. I just knew I would fall in love with something the second I stepped foot inside. ...and I did. With about 30 different things! I slowly made my way towards the back of the store, & heard my husband call out "Hey Babe, there's a table over here!". I hurried back & as I rounded the corner, my heart skipped a beat. ...Cheryl came over & gave me the break down.
She said Baker. I thought SOLD.
So as of today, my very first dining set is a Regency Style, Baker Split-Pedestal Dining Table + 2 Arm Chairs & 4 Side Chairs in a Black Lacquer finish. Circa 1920-1950 :)
Oh happy day!...
Our new dining chairs.
I couldn't get a proper of the table as it was in a corner; so those will have to wait until it gets home :)

ReplyDeleteI posted some photos of the chairs. The table will photograph better with natural sunlight- outside the shop (ie. in my house ;))
ReplyDeleteoh I see them! am i a dork and maybe they just didn't finish loading from the first time i went. I bet that's what happened. They are absolutely gorgeous! Traditional with a sophisticated fresh kick! Good job! Isn't that fun?
ReplyDeleteSome days everything just seels to click! Anxious to see the table, the chairs are gorgeous.
