It was where we confessed our criminal activity for the day hoping for reprieves.
It was where we sobbed over best friends who left us behind.
It was where love was given disguised as delicious food.
The kitchen table was the center of our universe.
When I found this forties kitchen table painted in layers of paint missing its drop leaves, I knew it held a secret.
I had to dig down through the layers to reveal the beauty underneath.
No, I did not go any further.
I thought the beauty of this table was in the decades of patina built by many hands.
So look closely and enjoy.
See y'all!

Now that is true shabby chic! Gorgeous surprise.
ReplyDeleteThat is really pretty and good for you for having the patience to uncover that beautiful painting! Our kitchen table was 8 X 4 and had to be built in our kitchen because it was so big.
ReplyDeleteAwesome. Just awesome! And perfect for my house :-)

I wish it was still it's original green... so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove this post...if that table could talk. I'm glad that you left all that history behind.
ReplyDeleteI bet many stories have been told over that table as well as many a tear shed over it! I am amazed that you were able to reveal the fruit painting without damaging it too badly. It is so pretty. I love the size too and the pretty little legs! Will you be keeping or selling? I have looked and looked for a used table in the style and size I want and have yet to find it, so it looke like Joey and I will be building one ourselves! Hopefully before the holidays arrive...:) Have a blessed week....Vicky
