| Brynwood Needleworks - Table Inspiration |
I belong to a farmhouse/cottage/Victorian home group on Facebook. Recently, a lady shared a photograph of her sitting room, and I immediately fixated on the table. Typical British homes have taller tables for their tea/cocktail tables, so seeing this reminded me of that.
Now, understand that while his wife considers herself more than half British (and I should. I was born there!), Handsome is not always enthused with my taste in that regard. We are great at the art of compromise...mostly.

| Brynwood Needleworks - Found One!!! |
I actually conversed with the lady who had that table in the picture. She explained that she purchased an end table and painted it for her decor.
So, I went "hunting" on FB Marketplace. Not only did I find a taller end table, I found nearly the exact table! I think the "gingerbread" next to the table legs is slightly different, but really. They could be sisters!
I contacted the seller, we agreed on a lower price than her asking, and I went and got it. It was such a steal, and just what I wanted.

It is a little taller than what I want for a tea table, so I may shorten the legs by a couple inches, but isn't it beautiful? Now to decide whether or not I can bring myself to paint it. The wood is really interesting, and I love the inlay. I think for now, I'm going to enjoy it just as it is. Marketplace for the win again!
