These are a few of my favorite things

A little Friday love...

I took this picture while out "treasure hunting" yesterday.
I think the little guy on the right needs to come live with me.


I've collected a few others. (all antique ladder back style for $7, baby!)

I can't wait to get to work on them. Crusty chair = cool.  Nasty old fabric? Not so much.
Pictures soon.

PS-I have made a whopping 0.0% progress in the table department.
I can't make up my mind on what type of wood to use, and whether or not I want to use cool, old wood with a story to tell, or take a less labor intensive route and just buy some pine at Lowe's.
I think I need to make another visit to my buddy Glenn Beck.  

Some inspiration:

What would it be like to have the space for a 10 ft table? 

The words you're looking for are freaking awesome.

This table is $3,300.00

and that guy is $3,995.00

Really.

Love this one:

Gonna shoot for something like this. ($2,725 here)

I'm not sure if I'm in love with the runner, and if I decide to go with reclaimed planks or aged wood for the top, I just might paint or wash the base. 

Too many choices, not enough dining space.

...and as for spending thousands of dollars? 

Get real. 

gimme 50 bucks....maybe $75.

I just need to make a decision! 

But until then...

At least I have chairs.
