My latest thrift find finally made its way home today. I saw this table while we were down in Tampa Bay for Rays' Opening Day. It was at an adorable furniture store we happened upon accidentally.
It's honestly not my style, with its frilly legs (which are quite wobbly) and extra shelf. I like more classic lines in my furniture. I may very well change the legs out someday. What made me fall in love was the tile top since I have another table almost exactly like it.
I found its sister table at one of my very favorite thrift stores, the Gandy Goodwill in St. Pete. It had just come in off a donation truck. I grabbed it for $15. It remains one of my favorite furniture pieces. So when I found a table so similar to it I was so surprised!
Of course, since I'm so indecisive I decided to wait and think about it. When I couldn't get the table out of my head, I knew I had to have it. We went back the next day only to find out the store was only open three days a week! Knowing I'd be back in a few weeks, I resigned myself to waiting. But when Tim moved out, taking the giant wine rack with him, I knew the table would be perfect in the empty space. I called the store, praying they hadn't sold it in the two previous weeks. It was still there! I bought it over the phone and had them put it in back for me until I could make my way down. My mom was in the area for a conference this week and agreed to pick it up for me.
I've never seen so many different tile leaf designs. Quite unique, isn't it? I'm so thrilled to have it. I wonder if I'll ever find another?
