So far all you crazy HGTV show watchers keep your eyes peeled for a little piece of Stylish Patina in the Columbia Heights {DC} House Hunters show. I was at the barn yesterday and a custom table I had designed out of salvaged items was delivered. It was on the floor for less than an hour when this very nice guy was asking about it. To be honest, I hadn’t decided to sell it yet…I was in love with it….it is truly a one-of-a-kind console table/desk.
I found the top and just fell in love with the carving. I think it's off of a very large and ornate cabinet from over 100 years ago. I bought the top with the thought of a table or a huge chalkboard. Then I came across these salvaged chunky legs. It was a done deal; she was destined to be a table. I have a guy that’s getting into designing cabinets and such, so he attached the legs for me, and we were off and running….

The guy that was checking out the table loved it as much as I did, and he appreciated all of the odd things about it… the natural patina of the table, so when he wanted to buy it I let it go. But have to say even today I am having seller's remorse! When we were talking about the table, he told me he was on House Hunters and was trying to find the perfect table for this space in front of a wall of windows where he would work each day. He said he really wanted a statement piece for the show and for his home… well, he got it!
