Furniture Feature: Nesting Tables

Ok, I must admit I have a thing for side tables.  They are the perfect piece that can turn a chair into a relaxing reading nook or a sofa into a cocktail lounge.  One of my favorite styles of side tables is the nesting table set.  What’s not to love about getting 2 or 3 tables in one!

The Function and Fabulousness of Skirted Tables

Skirted Tables are a decorating dream!  Not only can you hide stuff under the skirt but a table skirt adds instant softness and unique style to any room.

Just about any table can be skirted and just about any fabric can be used.

Keep your table skirt plain and simple or dress it up with decorative trims and borders.

Pattern table skirts are a great way to introduce pattern and visual interest into a space.

And,  table skirts are  perfect for hiding supplies, pipes and unsightly structural elements within your home.
