ohmygosh you SCORED!!! Nice work!

You DID do good! Love the bag!

I'll take the table if it's too big for your room! Nice find.

You will LOVE having a big coffee table! If it's comfy when you sit at your sofa, then don't shorten it.

I have a big coffee table too, the dog chewed three corners off when she was a pup, and there is no way I'll ever replace it. It's become my "desk" in the mornings when I pay bills, drink coffee, read mail, etc!

Those baskets are neat. You can decorate the inside of them like you would a "decorative" birdcage.

I'm a big purse person also, just because I carry so much junk!

I love your new stuff, and sounds like you had fun to boot. The table would be perfect in a shabby chic room- no painting needed. Is it higher than the sofa seat? If so, could it be a tea table? They are easier on the back.

I'll take the baskets if you don't want them :) They look very Asian. Would go great with the stuff in my LR, LOL.

Awesome!
And those baskets....to die for!
I can't believe the price.

Fantastic finds! We are all proud of you! And I think the table looks wonderful just the way it is!

OH, I *love* that table just as it is!!! I'd love to find one like that! Good finds!!

noooo don't paint the legs. You did score big!

Thanks everyone!
I'm pleased to announce that dh loved the table. Finds it very sturdy, which was what he was most concerned about. Actually, it's really quite heavy. I'm wondering if it was a farm table or something, cut down? It was at an antique store. But, I know that doesn't mean much.
And when I asked dh about painting, he said the distressed is "part of the charm", and to leave it. Of course, he's right. But, he's not often drawn to such stuff.
We are trying to move away from the matchy, matchy show room floor look :) So, guess it's a good start!!
And he also likes the height of the table as is. It's growing on me, as well.

He made no comment about the baskets, just grinned. Hated the purse, and told me my butt was fine without it, hehehe.

couple more pics of table

can sort of see old, ugly pine table behind it. good riddance!! lol now gotta do something to the T.V. armoire, get a new sofa table and end tables. Oy!

Thanks!!!

Very nice!

OMG, that table is FANTASTIC!!! I'm so glad to hear you're not going to mess with it -- I'm in love with it!!

Oohhh . . . I love that table! It would go great in my house too! Sigh . . . You rock! Great job, and enjoy the charm of things collected over time. It was worth the wait, I'm sure.

Geeeze....this is exactly what we've been looking for; coffee table with painted legs, stained top, and a bit rustic-looking.
I'll just take yours!

In fact, if you decide you don't care for the table and cages, I'll gladly take them off your hands.
What wonderful finds!

The purse......well, my beee-hind is already cow-like so I don't need a twin hanging off my shoulder. *giggle*

Fantatic finds! Love, love your new coffee table!

yay no paint!! it looks great in your room. I would line up to have it, but the line is already down the block!! heheheh

I like all your stuff and it looks great in the room!

And wanted to tell you you're not alone..I like the purse but my DH wouldn't adore the purse either, ha!

I like the table too, even though I'm not a fan of peeling paint, I *love* the barn board top. Can we see the rest of the room?

I would have bought the baskets too - that's why I have a set of 3 (not the same as yours) sitting in the attic waiting for me to find a place LOL! Can't say I like the purse, but then again I don't carry a purse of any kind (billfold in back pocket) so my opinion doesn't count...

Would the baskets work as an end table? One stacked on the other with a wood or glass topping.

For what it's worth, my coffee table is 17" high. It's between the sofa, 16", & two chairs, 16 1/2". I think there is not a magic height for coffee tables. :)

Love the table and the baskets. Can't say much about the purse though. ;)

Alright, alright..stop hatin' on the purse y'all :) :)
My mother tells me it's "quite fashionable", lol. Maybe that should be my first sign to run..not walk away from it :)

I'll put some more pics up of the whole space. I'm needing some help pulling some other things together to make this table work. I've been ready and quite willing for awhile to make a change. And this has helped set me on that path.

Kathleen, great idea about using them as an end table. I'll be needing something, once I get rid of some of the other stuff I have. I may have a spot. Although, they're not quite as big in person as they appear in the pic.

Thanks again everyone! So far, I've yet to have any buyer's remorse :)

GREAT finds! :)

The table is perfect and the color pulls out one of the colors in your rug! The baskets and purse are great too!

Kat :)

In case you didn't realize it, I think you got a GREAT buy on that table!

REALLY!

On that table...it's gorgeous, don't paint it, it will lose it's charm! But do rub it down with a very fine grit steel wool to remove any loose paint and then wax it to give it a nice finish and protect the paint that's left. And then put it in a big box and mail it to me :oP It would be perfect for my family room!

Wonderful finds!!

Gorgeous and useful too!

And I adore the purse! (another one that carries huge purses!)

I LOVE, love, love the table!
Well, really I love it all, purse included!
I just got a pair of clogs that would go with your purse perfectly.....I love mine!
