Trends We Love: Skirted Tables

I love the look of a crisp, tailored skirted table. Above is a skirted table in San Francisco designer Grant K. Gibson’s home. That wide Greek key trim is to die for!

Grant loves his skirted tables. Here’s another one he designed for a client’s bathroom vanity that has the same Greek key trim.

This octagonal skirted table is the focal point of an entry in a home designed by Tom Scheerer that was featured in the July 2009 …

They were going for $10 a bunch that morning! It’s true the early bird may catch the worm but it’s the patient shopper that scores the best deal! I bought four bunches and made 2 beautiful arrangements…this one and another smaller one for …
