A little Anthropologie hack for ya...

I posted on this when I first started my blog, but I thought I would do another just because I was in my blogging infancy, and I don't think I really did it justice :) 

Last year, Tanner and I found this table (The Curator Table) at Anthro and fell in love with the design.  It was so quirky!  I loved the idea of all the mismatched frames and trim, and the knobs...but not the patina.

 

I'm pretty sure I asked Tanner, "how much do you think this is -- 400.00?"  He said, "that would be really expensive but I'm sure it is, since this is Anthropologie we're talking about."

As I turned the price tag over, I had to do a double take, and then wipe off the price tag just to make sure I wasn't seeing things.  It wasn't 400.00!  It wasn't even 550.00!  It was almost 700.00..........

s-e-v-e-n      h-u-n-d-r-e-d. 

There better have been a kidney in one of the drawers for that price tag.

A few months later, I had a client who wanted two matching nighstands unique in texture, and I remembered the kidney table.  Google brought me to Design*Sponge, where I found someone who had copied the Curator Table and made it cuter in my opinion, using different kinds of trim.  Tanner and I quickly set to work, given our client's measurements.  So here is our finished product! If you're interested in purchasing, they are $175.00.  Kidney included.
