A real breakfast nook.

September 24, 2009 by Michelle Hinckley |

Several months ago I found this table at an antique store. I had been looking for a small, bistro sized table that I could fit in my akward round room. At first glance it’s not really my style but I love mixing styles together…makes for a much more interesting space. So myself and the other two shop owners heave-ho’d this thing in to my car. (It’s small but the base is some kind of VERY HEAVY metal and the top is marble).

I sprayed the base gray, added a mirror to open up the room a bit and now I’ve saved myself 10 steps (one way) from treking to the real dining room.

My professional photographer friend, Michelle, came over with her phat camera and took some pics of my entire house. Here’s one of them:

Thanks Michelle…Here’s to the future Michelle-Squared (one day).

    The stripes! Gorgeous! And the table looks fit for an ice cream parlor and a chocolate sundae. Love it.
