I've been looking for a vintage table with pedestal legs for our eat in nook area. The table we have there has been fine except every time I scoot out from the bench I whack my knees on one of the legs.
Look at this beauty I picked up on craigslist!
She's a vintage Duncan Phyfe; and except for the top being really trashed, super -sturdy and in great shape.
but it's nothing that a few coats of paint can't fix. Not a bad find for $30!
the leaves even drop down for space saving.
I just adore the legs.
I am hoping to have some great weekend weather to pull out the paint and brushes. I think a bit of Linen White will work magic, or maybe I should mix it up with a color?

My mom had a table like that...I think I'm going to regret not keeping it.
ReplyDeletegorgeous table! I have just plain given up on our craigslist!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see how it turns out...I have a dark stained table like that and can hardly wait to paint it white. I'm a little scared though. :)
Have fun with the paintbrushes!
Jen,
ReplyDeleteGreat find.I love that it has two pedestal legs.I had a table with one and it was not sturdy if someone leaned on it.I like your table ALLOT!And what a super steal too.I am sure it will look amazing when you are done.Can't wait to see it.
Blessings,

What a great find at a good price. Love when you find things like this. Looking forward to seeing it the way you want it. have a beautiful and creative day...Chickie
ReplyDeleteGreat table! My sister just got one similar to it when mutual friends inherited a table and they gave her their old one. I love how furniture can shift around through families or communities to whomever might need it. Or in this case, to who can paint it and rejuvenate it after 4 kids had trashed it:)

Great find, Jen! Love the legs! Hopefully, this one will save yours! : ) Can't wait to see it painted. I think the white is a great choice.
ReplyDeleteGreat treasure find, Jen!
ReplyDeleteWell done - can't wait to see its awesome "reveal" after painting!!!!
That is a fabulous find!! You did good!
ReplyDeleteVery nice find! Can't wait to see what you do with it!
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Lorraine
What a beauty! Perfect for your eating nook especially painted linen white. Have a good weekend sweetie!
ReplyDeleteNice find. I've had several of these tables over the years, and they're very versatile. I think a fresh coat of paint will do wonders. Can't wait to see what finish you decide on.
ReplyDeleteI like it!!! Mine is almost exactly like it and belonged to my mother. I'm 63, so I'd imagine my table is fairly vintage as well. I can't wait to see what you do with it.
ReplyDeleteGreat quality piece...would look wonderful painted...Looking forward to the miracle you will do with the table!
ReplyDeleteI have always loved tables like that! Whatever color you decide to use, I'm sure you will make it beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLove duncan phyfe I came across one of these with four chairs for 90 at a sale and my friend came over and promptly traded me a chandelier I had been drooling over that she has, she is painting and putting in her kitchen breakfast nook it too has drop leafs I was just going to paint and recover chairs and put in my booth so I love when a friend trades as I get to see the furniture for years!, I guessed mine to be 1940's era the smaller scale and beautiful shape is awesome and I cannot wait to see what you do with yours, I personally love the linen white idea for this table!!
ReplyDeleteSherry
that is going to be so cute there I'm sure! Can't wait to see it!!!
ReplyDeletegreat buy
(look at poor doggy there...:(
My mom has an old Duncan Phyfe similar to yours! I had the brilliant idea to use it as an ironing board when I was a teen and left a huge iron mark on the table! Luckily, she kept a runner on the table so I hid the mark!!
ReplyDeleteGreat find - $30 score!!

Can't wait to see the pix! I personally love ASCP French Linen! sometimes I dry brush old white lightly over that to get an older paint look.....
