brickmaker's table

I have been loving this brickmaker's table from Restoration Hardware.



A brickmaker's table is "originally a pallet used to cut, cool, and transport bricks 100 years ago in Belgium."



Each piece is unique, one-of-a-kind, made from northern European azobe wood- from an antique dealer in Europe.



Restoration shows them in traditional settings {which is gorgeous}, but I love the idea of juxtaposing it in a clean, white, modern room.



Since they are actual antiques, they have limited supply so go here if you can afford the real-deal of $1360!



Luckily for the rest of us... Ballard designs has made a similar reproduction! Not quite as rustic as the vintage planked table-top, but I do like the shelf...and you can't beat the price of $349. Love it! Go here for the Durham cocktail table.

  5. Thank you! I've been looking at buying that RH coffee table, but just didn't like the price! I couldn't find another one that I liked as much. I'm really liking this Ballard Design one though!

  8. I've been looking at that table! It is huge, which I need for my family room (there's a lot of open space in it), & it's beautiful! Thanks for the post on it - now it's tempting me even more. They also carry a beautiful desk in that same collection - I wish I had a place & the money for it too.
