I love furniture that can travel...yes, you heard it right...
travel around the various rooms in our home.
travel around the various rooms in our home.
This little French bistro table is such a piece.
There's something about it that exudes charm...the rusty top?
the three slender curved legs?
It just seems to work in so many places.
Recently it moved from the screened porch
to a guest room upstairs.
The metal texture and airy style added
just the right accent piece to lighten up the room.
I love how the antique grain sack helps to soften
the metal tabletop, without covering up
all the fabulous patina.
The grain sack is from Ann's shop Sutton Place Designs.
(love those wide red stripes!)
Ann and I engaged in a little business swap that
you can read about Here.
She is such a delight to work with!
And yes, I do know the people in the old photos...
They're my relatives...my very dear grandparents before they married.
Blessings,
Mary Alice

I love this whole vignette. Great chippy table, wonderful grain sack, and love the old frames especially the empty one on the old books.
ReplyDeleteThat's why I love tables like this, Mary Alice! They can move from room to room when needed {or just when you want a change}. Those frames are wonderful and perfect for the pictures of your grandparents.
ReplyDeleteHi Mary Alice,
ReplyDeleteWho wouldn't love to spend time in this gorgeous guest room! I love the idea of 'French bistro travels' as a theme, as this is a room for people who are travelling, who are away from their house, and these special touches spell comfort!
Have a great weekend!

Beautiful vignette. I love everything about it, including the photos of your grandparents. I have some very similar and I wouldn't trade them for the world. All your small details blend together beautifully, Mary Alice. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous table! I love the old pictures. I have 'traveling tables' too. :) Never know where they might be going. Have a fabulous weekend.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful table Mary Alice! I do love that grain sack too!

This vignette is so inviting. I love the table and the picture frames. They are what set the tone for this setting.
ReplyDeleteLove the little table.. Great way to display it. Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteI think this looks like a perfect little corner. I love to study all the details in photos and noticed the market basket with magazines in it. I have a french market basket on my Christmas wish list.
ReplyDeleteYour table is simply beautiful! I love moving things around, too, as we stop "seeing" them after awhile. I love Ann's creations, too and I see a lot of it around Blogland. Her business is doing very well!
ReplyDeleteThanks for a peek at your vignette, it's really lovely!
XO,

That is a darling bistro table. I love the chair beside it too and the old photographs displayed on it. Enjoy the weekend. Pamela
ReplyDeleteThat table has great patina. Your people are wonderful as is Ann's piece.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Mary Alice!
ReplyDeleteI love that little table. Wonderful! I love all you do, my friend.
ReplyDeleteLOVE your vignette! I had a table very similar to that a few years ago...wish I had it back!! I would love to have it by my bed! But anyway, I love your style and the personal touch of the family photos. Very warm and inviting~~~~and congratulations on your win! Roxie
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! And I love the rug :) Have a lovely week!
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Lovde the Bistro table and I especially love the grainsack on the top. Just beautiful. I'm heading over to Ann's right now ~
ReplyDeleteWhat a great little table. When I got married, my mother-in-law told me how important it is to have small tables rather than a great big coffee table. She was right. Small tables are so versatile.
ReplyDeleteOh Mary Alice what a darling little table! I can see why it would be perfect almost anywhere. And the photographs of your Grandparents are the most special treasures of all. *winks* Vanna
ReplyDeleteI agree, I have one and it just looks good anywhere!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely table and so versatile. Very charming. Thanks for sharing, liz
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful and classic little table! Wish I could find one.
ReplyDeleteLove the table...looking for one for my son's room!
ReplyDeleteDarling table! Love the old books, too.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great piece - I would let it travel as well! Also love those old books!
ReplyDeleteGreat table and I love your vignette. Thanks for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteThanks for the lovely plug! I know that grain sack will travel around your home just like that table. You've got a very special knack of doing that exactly right. Hope you are well...enjoy the rest of the week. November is moving right along!
ReplyDeleteThe whole vignette looks so cozy but I love the rag rug most of all! Altogether, it's the perfect place to snuggle up with a good book and a cup of tea. This is my first time visiting your blog and so I also want to say how much I enjoyed the post with the sweet linen nightgown.
ReplyDeleteI'll be back for another visit !
It's a wonderful table! You can use it anywhere and it will always be charming.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Susan and Bentley
How beautiful! Love the grain sack... what a fun trade.
ReplyDeleteOh, it all looks so cozy sitting on your wonderful old braided rug!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your sweet comment about my home, Mary Alice!
ReplyDeleteFrench bistro tables are some of my favorites...they are so versatile!
ReplyDeleteLove the table and love everything about that pretty vignette!
ReplyDeletePerfect little side table! Love how you added the vintage photos of your grandparents.
