I don’t know about you — but I can’t resist the vintage metal ANYthing with wheels. I bought this old typewriter stand last fall + have been dreaming of tricking it out into a side table ever since.
I thought we’d have to find a stone supplier + see if they had any remnants in the highly-coveted honed marble.
Almost 4-1/2 months of procrastination later . . . + this past Monday, I walk into a huge tile outlet store in Chicago. There they were! A stack of said-same honed marble tiles in THE 18″ x 18″ size of my typewriter table!
My pal, Alan, instructed me, “Don’t say anything!” as he walked to the check-out counter. “I’d like to buy this SAMPLE,” he said, to which the tile personnel replied, “Take it!”
I KNOW!!! This kind of thing never happens to ME (+ don’t you kind of hate me right now for bragging?)
Now comes the “fun” part. I’ll admit it — I have issues with tabletop display! It never looks right to me! But here are some stabs.
- An old red basket on a yellow ware platter?
- Maybe stacked books are better.
- I love baseball!
