As for tab...I love where your black room is going! As for table, there is something about the acanthus table at Ballard designs that I think can be very chic. I used that white table in an office space and they called me within weeks to replace it because the base was getting so dirty (from shoes) and the plastic was hard to clean. For modern, don't forget about the Platner table though I can't imagine paying that much and I don't know of a good replica. But it's just such a chic round table!Marijahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12995005729922220681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3481334885690177821.post-64974948050595985082010-02-18T20:50:20.317-05:002010-02-18T20:50:20.317-05:00I saw go w/ the tulip table!

That's exactly where we got ours--on Craig's List too to boot! We bought ours in Wilmington (about 4 hours South East of you) for $40. It's a nice little beach town if you're ever looking for a quick getaway! ;)<br /><br />We've had small places and large places and the ability to add or remove the leaflet is so helpful. Much as I love IKEA, a pedestal table is very timeless! Oh, and currently, our's is black. :) You can see it here: http://tinyurl.com/ykn8xqnAmberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10878519029964274800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3481334885690177821.post-59606751749226029892010-02-18T12:44:36.498-05:002010-02-18T12:44:36.498-05:00Can't wait to hear what you decide.
