A few months ago I found this table at a Moving-On sale in Goodwood.
I’d gone to the sale hoping to pick up a mannequin but my entry number was one of the last ones called, so there were only unwanted dregs left for me. Peeved, I thought I should at least justify the trip by purchasing something, and lit on this. R50 = score!
Mosaiced and sprayed and socked, it is now this:
And I don’t mind telling you that everyone who saw it on Saturday laughed themselves silly at the crocheted socks. But I don’t care. I think socks are going to be the Next Big Thing for furniture. Am I alone in this, or does anyone agree with me?
To be continued…
I did giggle when I saw them but they could be very useful when you have a floor that you don’t want to scratch.
Exactly! And nice for the table when it’s winter, to keep its feet warm.
Jill,
I love the mosaic top to the table and I love the little crocheted socks. What a clever idea. Thanks for sharing.
Hugs,
Tamara
Oh yeah ~ chair/table socks are the NEXT.BIG.THING. I have been coveting a set I found making the rounds on Pinterest and they are kitchy and cute :) Well done on the mosaic ~ love the colors!
I see – so I’m not quite the trendsetter I thought I was… :(
Thanks for compliment, I love mosaicing tables. In fact, have quite a few in semi-worked-on stages, now that I think about it. Time to dig them out.
Love the bootees, but what did you want a mannequin for? You can’t just drop that in and leave it to my imagination, because that’s generating some very strange images involving mosaics, lampshades and rope!
Yes, I can just imagine what you can imagine…. :)
An amazing transformation Jill, & I think the socks are great fun! x
Beam. :-)
