Revised

The coffee table from the old living room set-up was a tad small and not working very functionally.

I’ve had my eye on the bricklayer tables that have been popping up here and yonder.  Perhaps their popularity=trendy?  I don’t care, they are my cup of tea.

I love the mix of wood and metal… very “farmhouse industrial”.

Ours is from Ballard Designs.

I think the table adds a nice contrast to the French pieces in the room.

Just enough to take the edge off the femininity.

And it coordinates with the industrial element on the ceiling.

Millie has gone through a transition as well.  Just a mere pup when she first modeled for us, she’s now full grown at a whopping 8 pounds.  She still loves the corner spot on the sofa:

but as I was snapping photos…

She hopped up on top,

because she prefers this spot even more.

  2. It does add a little masculine touch. But also reminds me of tables from the 70's. Retro is always good when done well as you have.

  5. I LOVE those tables. I just found an industrial table on Craig's List for $175. Not quite as refined as the bricklayer table, but still has that masuline beauty for a fraction of the price.

    Didn't actually buy it though, :( since we currently don't have the room for a coffee table. Can't wait until the new house is done.

    Yours is perfect.

  20. I've been eyeballing one of those tables too! Love a touch of industrial in my house....I think it adds just enough "modernness" to my very traditional style. It looks great!

  21. My daughter's dachshund slept on the back cushion of her sofa too, until she bought an Ikea sofa. Now he can't. She's pretty.

  23. I love your table...I've been wanting one too. Although they are popular, I don't see them as being trendy. I think they are so simple that they have a timeless appeal.

    I think it was a great selection for you. It looks beautiful in your room.

    Best wishes for a wonderful day :)

  30. I love your decorating...love! It's so serene, calming. I've recently adding some natural wood and wicker to my white great room and it just adds so much. Wonder if your hubby has any problem with the neutral decor? Mine keeps telling me he wants color. I've seemed to have won on this...so far.

  31. I love the unique element of style found in this room. There's a perfect mix of metal and wood by just looking at the arrangement. Millie, the dog, is so cute! Our dog is just like Millie, sweet and adorable. However, he loves to pee on the living room carpet. As a result, we need help from professional carpet cleaners to do the carpet cleaning. Ellington, CT is a place where in the best carpet cleaners are found. So it wasn't really a huge problem.
