Wow that is one sweet table. Lucky duck ! c

Great find!

I want one!!!!!! (whining)

Great find JB! Please, please, please take a better picture of it to share with us.

I never see anything interesting either. Great find!

Great find! Would love to see a close up of it....

I want to see a side by side photo of both. I don't know Spanish Colonial Revival.

It is a great score!

What a pretty little table! Please post a pic of how you are using it.

great find! our CL is like yours (you in AZ?). we have a lot of stripper poles, animal cages, doggie doors...

That's a nice one!

cooperbailey - Spanish Colonial revival was one of the romantic architectural historic revivals between the wars. Think the Addison Mizner houses in Florida, Nora's house on "Brothers and Sisters", Cam's building on "Modern Family" and Barbara Stanwyck's house in "Double Indemnity". Stucco, barrel-tile roofs, arches, very romantic and picturesque. There are some offshoots/subsets of the style, like Mission, Territorial, Mediterranean. I've put a link to some images at the bottom.

nancybee - what do you mean, how am I using it? Since when are we actually required to use the things we impulsively purchase from CL? Is it not acceptable to simply stack them up in the spare bedroom? In all seriousness, I have no actual use for this table. The existing table was a side table in our old house (1925 Spanish bungalow). But currently it serves as a printer stand in my home office. I think the two of them may wind up in my office as side tables.

Here are some shots of my existing table and the new one. I'm wondering if maybe the new one was a kit of some kind, but still of the era. You know, 1920s "unfinished furniture", and you put your own tiles on top. Because the mortar is a bit thicker and less neat. And that would explain the period tiles, but the table being simpler and unfinished but for the slapdash green paint. Some pics of both:

NICE!

Nice table....and I am lovin' your rugs!

jakabedy- lol- At first I thought you were mad at me! (And so far I have avoided that here!)

How do you feel about sharing some pics of your home? You have given us little glimpses of your decorating and it looks so cozy and interesting. I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd like to see more!

WOW, that is so weird. you must have been looking in bham because I had considered getting that table! It's too cute. What a trip.

Awesome! And I spoke too soon. I found a retro coffee table that I'm picking up tomorrow.

nancybee - The first photo is from our last house. It was definitely cozy and pleasantly shabby. Sometimes I really miss it. The current house is MCM, all glass and open space. I love it, too.

Last house (fabulous, and in a terrible area):

The current house (and why I don't have a ready location for my little tile tables):

Love both your places, but the new one is awesome!

Thanks for the close ups of this cute little table and the gorgeous pictures of your homes!

Thanks for sharing the pics. Wow, you really have a flair for decorating! Both places are warm and wonderful, and in such different ways.

And it must be so nice to look out on those lovely trees.

We will be getting new carpet for the upstairs. The kids have their bedrooms upstairs and there is a guest room and playroom. I would like to get a type of frieze, but what is in/out? I am leaning toward a more solid, but medium dark color/brownish with gray tones (actual carpet is Statuesque, Rough Timber-color). Are the ones with colored flecks going to date the house or is dark even "in" for carpets? It will also run up the stairs so it will be seen from the living area. HELP, it is such a big expense & I don't want it to look "dated" now or in the next 5 years!! Oh the walls are primarily a green-gray-tan...Tobacco LEAF, one bedroom Tobacco Road and two girls have a light tan/gray, Early Morning Mist.

Sorry, I don't know how my carpet post ended up here. I appologize. Kate
