Of course, there's a back story. I've wanted this piece for at least 2 years - believing it would make a perfect coffee cup table in my family room. We haven't really "done" this room and it's very much a work-in-progress. That is to say, I don't know how we've improved it at all (not having thrown money or time at it), but it's much more functional now than it was 3 years ago, when I divested it of it's original function: child playroom.
Anyway, we have our coffee there on the weekends - when we stick the kid in front of TVO cartoons in the front room - and I've lamented the lack of suitable coffee holder, well, forever.
My husband has been telling me, since I saw this table, that he doesn't like it, that it seems contrived, that it's just asking for a knee to bang against. It's also pretty expensive. At least by my standards. So, you can imagine my incredible surprise when I received it!
Note: Technically, I guessed - don't ask me how, you know I have a knack - but that's just between you and me. OK?

I think it's a fascinating shape.
ReplyDeleteIt's great that your husband got it for you, even though it went against his grain.
ha ha.
Whatta man. How was its inaugural coffee-related use? As awesome as you'd always dreamed?
ReplyDeleteAwh so nice on both counts!

I like the shape. And the wood!
ReplyDeleteIt's more interesting than the usual plain coffee table.
I don't know what I like about the table more the sweet grain on the top or the really sweet twisty design. Either way I say it is most definitely worth 2 years of pining.
ReplyDeleteE: Hilarious!
ReplyDeleteSal: It was great but I generally like things more and more as time goes on.
MDS: Thanks!
CC: I really do love it...
Monkey: Isn't he though :-)
Thanks Seeker: It's like no other table I've seen. Which makes it that much more fun.
GJ: I know you're in the last phase before wellness returns...
Janet and Dave: Thanks!!
Raven: I'm trying to figure out what wood it's made from. A part of me says pine, but it seems less soft than pine - and it's not yellow in any way.
Jill: Pining! Ha!! Love that pun.
ooooooh ....fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI like those. I could have made them! (dreaming)
ReplyDeletecontrived? maybe. amazingly beautiful. yes.
ReplyDeleteMaegan: Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSongy: Something tells me you could, you talent!
red.door.read: Thanks for your comment. It is contrived but sooo pretty with some flowers and a cup of coffee sitting on it!
It's gorgeous, good job Mr. K! I might start leaving furniture wishlists around my apartment and see if Mr. Unreliable gets the hint :D
ReplyDeleteThanks Ms. U! Let me know how that strategy works out for you :-)
