Some Fabulous! Antiques and Drop-Leaf Luciousness!

I wanted to show you some of my acquired treasures this past week.  Two, get that, two drop-leaf tables in 1 week!  And one is an antique (over 100 years old). 

This first one I found at the DI (our local thrift store in Utah):

I have to admit I had almost given up completely on the DI as far as furniture goes.  They have raised their prices so much in the past couple of years that it wasn't worth it for me.  That is until I found this beauty!

That's right!  it is a drop-leaf coffee table!  Don't-you-just-love-it!?  I do!

This little lady needed a little repair, slightly more than cosmetic, but nothing serious.

Hey Lola!  Get outta here!  You can-not eat my table!

Here she is with her leaves up:

I can't wait to finish her up!

This beauty, on the other hand,

is a real gem of an antique!

I got him from a very kind couple near my home.

His name is Albert, after the woman's

dear brother who used to collect

antiques.

Albert died suddenly of a heart attack

over 20 years ago and

this is one of the pieces she

brought back with her from

Lincoln, Nebraska.

Albert had started refinishing

this beauty, but never quite got around

to completing the project.

I can't wait to put my spin on it

and I hope you are proud of how

it turns out.

I got this with the leaves off, but have

all the parts. 

There are 2 drawers, one on either end.

Again with the legs, Oh My!

I think I am in love!

This little table has 2

(I am told) really old

doillies under the glass

I think it is absolutely adorable!

I will keep you posted on these

wonderful pieces!
