====posted in pieces because se thinks i'm a spammer===== There is always alot talk here about building and things that get built in, but not so much furniture. Buyerbuyers's antique thread got me thinking that his may be an interesting, if not earthshattering, topic. i have this dresser ... [more]
I have several pieces of colonial American furniture--inherited from family--that are currently in storage. I personally adore Deco and Beidermeier styles so will need to figure out a way to marry the two without everything feeling too hodgepodge.

if your place is more that couch than that table, check out these chairs
i see so many chairs i love but never any tables. the table that goes with them is the obvious answer, but i always think i'll see that one cool table that works and looks great, but doesn't "match"

thuthskr10, if you have detailed specs for a table, there's a place/guy on Bowery who'd do it for you. Under $1200.

It is a bit tricky though, not all slabs are created equal as well as the stains.
No 2 pieces are the same.
You guys have to see the walnut slab table at Hudson in person, it is stunning. The ones with metal legs are 20K and up. I knowing meatpacking rent is high but my lord.......

bramstar, that's certainly unique. but it looks incredible hazardous for a "child's chair". glass eyeballs on the horn tips would really complete that viking look.

i think if you choose the pieces carefully they would look very cohesive together.

truth- the Hudson wood furniture (especially the various tables) are really fabulous. Good thing I have no more room.
My furniture is a mix of 1930's,40's,50's Italian, some vintage Chinese pieces,some midcentury modern (Robjsohn-Gibbings tables, Edward Wormley chairs) and some 1970's pieces. Sofas just simple, classic upholstered. I know it sounds like a total mash-up, but somehow everything works together - maybe just because the woods and the lines work. (It's actually sort of weird how some Chinese furniture looks so good with some midcentury modern - just not that blonde stuff).
I think my favorite pieces are the Alcoa Aluminum 1939 World's Fair chairs in my kitchen. Lightweight and incredibly comfortable.

Lucille, if the the set of tables you have looks anything like the Kemp pieces, they are really gorgeous.

truthskr, my link before doesn't work. not sure they'd work with that table when you finally get it though.
from the source is in greenpoint, west of franklin and south of greenpoint ave, they have some really nice slabs and the guys who run it are incredibly nice and willing to work with you to customize what you need
