I need a new kitchen table. The rigged wooden top on the cheap Pier One scrolly wrought iron base just isn't cutting it any more. It's too big for the space, and for some reason it wobbles now. It's gotta go. In it's place I must have a
Saarinen table. Okay, I'll settled for the
Ikea version-- the Docksta (hate that name.) Preferably it would be the marble, but like I said, I'll settle for the white top Ikea one. They seem to pair perfectly with a rustic wood chair, like the
wishbone chair, like these pretties:
Same idea here, midcentury wood pairs nicely:
Also love it with the cane and chrome chairs:
Love how you can do modern or traditional with it-- so completely veristile. I like the interesting mix when it's done with something classic. Dying over these pretty floor tiles:
We bought the Docksta for Emily when we spruced up her kitchen nook:
Speaking of
Emily's house-- how cool is her banquette here? And how fabulous did those pillows and cushions turn out!? I just recovered my chairs with regular upholstery fabric like 2 months ago, and my messy kids have already ruined them. I think I might copy and do the
Jessica Jones laminated cotton. Em-- how has it held up?
Saarinen Table
Ooooooo, so much fun to see my Outside Oslo fabric in action!
ReplyDelete@ Jessica Jones-- Thanks for stopping by Jessica-- your work is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteyes, I second that Jessica! Love love love the fabric and it was the BEST choice, Karrie. Laminated cotton is the way to go. My kids are still gross but I can just wipe it away!
ReplyDeleteOh and I dream of a marble topped Saarinen magically appearing in my life!
Emily-- has your docksta table held up to the ruiners? Does it scratch easily or get scuffs since it's white? I'm thinking about getting the same.
