It's a new liking for me, but these days I am a pretty big fan of the skirted table. The number one reason I like it is because you can make the ugliest piece of old furniture look fantastic with minimal effort. I have a client in Boston right now that is probably the most traditional client I have yet to work with. They invested some money in few new, larger pieces of furniture, so we are being creative with some of the accent pieces to preserve the budget. We found a sofa table on Craig's List for $15 and today I am picking up a custom table skirt that we will cover it with. Come back later to see the before and after.
