apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

My wife and I love our table. It's heavy, blocky, and rustic used pine. We just ordered it from a guy on Craigslist (Chicago). He took our inspiration photo, which we found on AT's Small Cool, and he duplicated it for only $350, and delivered it 50 miles to our door. We have black Eames shell chairs, and canary yellow steelcase chairs. Looks awesome!

...do you have any pictures of the table?

I have a VERY large console table made of old rustic wood railroad ties held together with black iron crossings. The iron makes it look more modern, and with a white drum pendant hung over it, modern black, silver, & white picture frames resting on it, a slightly rustic statue of a Buddha, and two very large modern candlesticks, I feel like it works in my more modern space.

There's a place for both styles - even within the same room.

rustic can sometimes veer into industrial which will often work in a modern home though not every and all.

For a long time, I dreamed of having a dining room table made of reclaimed barnwood. Then I found our retro, aqua blue formica table and decided I couldn't pass it up. I love it, but I do sometimes long for a barnwood table too...

agree. you can have both.

eddivegas, would you be able to share the name/contact info of the guy in Chicago who made your table? Would be much appreciated! Is it this guy: http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/fur/767048179.html
Thanks!
