Today I am joining Laurie @ Bargain Hunting and Chatting with Laurie for Favorite Things Saturday's. Be sure to visit her to see all of the other participants. Some fun and fabulous eye candy.
You've all seen my table with dozens of tablescapes, but did you know it has a secret?
Right now it has this vignette as it's centerpiece, but it can be used in a totally different way.
It folds in half to become a Library Table or large Buffet Table.
See the hinges, it just folds in half and then slides back to the center of the trestle base. How cool is that!!!
Isn't it a great Library Table or Buffet. The size is perfect.
I used it as a Library table in a previous house. Right now it is perfect for our Living/Dining combo.
I am also linking to Courtney @ French Country Cottage for her Feathered Nest Friday. Be sure to visit her and find tons of inspiration for just about every space in your home.
Thanks so much for stopping by, I always look forward to your visits.
That is so neat Marty! It's useful and gorgeous too.

I love furniture that multi-tasks! Your table is lovely.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great table, Marty! Furniture that does more than one thing is fantastic!! I haven't seen one like that before!
ReplyDeleteI'm having my very first link party this weekend- all about decorating inspirations- would love it if you would share one of your beautiful posts!
I love the new you in your picture too, btw!! :)
Marty, I love versatile furniture. This table is perfection. It has beautiful legs, gorgeous wood, and a fabulous secret. I always advise young friends starting out in their homes to add gate-leg tables when they find any they like. We have several and they are so useful around the house. Our dining room table has leaves that fold down so it becomes a narrow table as well. It's been helpful when we want to entertain a large crowd in our small home.
ReplyDeleteI love your new picture Marty! You look great! I love furniture that is versatile. I have some furniture that I can easily multipurpose. Especially my gate legged tables. Your dining room table vignette looks great!

HI Marty,
ReplyDeleteLove your new picture, by the way! Your table is great, I've always loved a trestle table, but to have one so versatile would be a real plus. Your dining room looks lovely, all the fall touches are just right. (Porch looks great, too!) Have a wonderful weekend.

ReplyDeleteMarty, You are loved by many blog fans.
Hi Marty,
ReplyDeleteI found you on Ellen's blog 'Abounding Life' so I popped in and I am so glad I did. I am an American living in the UK and just getting that little visit into your beautiful dining room made me feel a little like being home for real.
Thanks so much for opening your home to us in Blogland.
Please pop by and check out my blog and I would surely love it if you would join my list of followers. You have me backing you.
B&P, Firedancer
Marty, that is wonderful! What a handy table. I would never have guessed that it did that. I'm so glad you shared that with us. Thank you so much for linking this "magic" table to Favorite Things. laurie
ReplyDeleteWow, what a beautiful table to start with, not to mention that it can change into a buffet/serving table. Where ever did you get it from? My sister had a coffee table that would pull up to a kitchen table height, it was way cool. Thank you for sharing Decgal
ReplyDeleteI loved your table already and now I have another reason to love it. You are so right -- it would be great if you were entertaining a large group...it gives you more space and still does the job. Your fall centerpiece is just beautiful, by the way!
ReplyDeleteThat is a fabulous table...so versatile!
