the (nearly) perfect find

We've been looking for a well-priced table to go in the entrace area for the parlor level. As this space is between the den and front sitting room it will help to separate the areas. After searching all the normal places (pottery barn, crate and barrel, craigslist) for a pedestal table that would have the right feel at the right price, Thom suggested we check the Park Slope flea market.

And there she was. A little scratched and worn but otherwise perfect (and cheap!). They even delivered it for free! We'll be refinishing it to match the dark wood in the house. In the meantime it's a great place to throw the mail.
