I like the chairs. The table is a little too Danish modern for me but go with it by all means.

The chairs, yes.
I was not thinking of getting THAT table.,

+1. The chairs are pretty sweet!

 

[1mach1]

The chairs, yes.

I like it! But maybe minus the super glossy finish. [huh]

 

[Panadora]

I believe that those tables were ment to be placed up against the wall?
Similar styled tables also come in squre and round free standing versions like this:

... The table is a little too Danish modern for me ...

That particular design is certainly not very Danish, Italian perhaps?

 

[Panadora]

Oh I see

I'm thinking about it. :wink:

Definitely: minus the glossy finish. :nod:

I guess they can lean against the wall, but I like them free-standing. They are so statuesque.

Great idea, but I don't think my table-maker will accept it. Too many curves, too much places to *uck up. [huh] I'll play it safe.

Oh I see

YES - now you know the idea...

 

[jamespowers]

The chairs, yes.

Table will be hand made, to look like:

Oh, ok then. Carry on.

 

[Stray Cat]

Oh, ok then. Carry on.

So, you approve of it?

 

[jamespowers]

So, you approve of it?

Yes, with the modifications.

 

[1mach1]

Yes, with the modifications.

Modifications? You mean the blower and the Holley carb?

Yes

The house we live in isn't vintage, but we've got vintage stuff in it. This is our Christmas tree this year. Its a crab-pot tree. A man from my home county invented crab-pot trees. He was in the business of making crab-pots using pvc-coated, salt water resistant wire cloth. One day he put together some scraps that were laying around his shop and accidently invented the crab-pot tree. The demand for his trees has grown so large, he's now pretty much stopped making crab-pots.

Anyhow...Jackie decorated the "tree" using antique fishing lures, old net corks, seashells, net scraps and whatever else she could find around the boat houses in Beaufort.
