Leather top desk
Gray oak entry hall table
This cute table has some beautiful details. Nicely turned legs and a pretty little scroll-like design along the front apron. The top is made of oak and was stained classic gray (although it looks more brown in the photos). The legs are rubberwood, and painted glossy white.
It’s such a great size and could be used in a foyer, behind a sofa, or even as a mini desk.

Maple butcher block table
You’ve probably seen a million of these tables in your lifetime right? Or owned at least one. I know I have. I just wish, before I got rid of mine, I had taken the time to make it look like this! How great would this look in a beach house?! It goes with so many decors. Beachey, shabby chic, cottage. This would even look great with some upholstered benches on either side. Or what about a craft room table….a desk….so many possibilities.
When I found this it had that orangey golden tone all over, that polyurethane gets with age. So it was all stripped down to bare wood. The top got a driftwood colored stain. And the base got one of my favorites, ColorPlace, by Sherwin Williams-Quaint Village Green. I’m not really sure why they call it green because it’s much more of a blue shade. It totally reminds me of beach glass…watery blue with a tiny hint of green.

Vintage drop leaf table
This vintage drop leaf table was in rough shape when I found it. It had layers and layers of sticky varnish on it that had to be painstakingly sanded down. After all that back-breaking prep work I painted the top a really pretty, neutral taupe. And the legs got a high gloss black.
It’s not too big – it’ll fit perfect in a small dining room, a kitchen, or even a breakfast nook. Leave the ends up and you have a great family table. Fold them down and it becomes a kitchen island, or a dining room sideboard.
