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.

And here’s another skirted table in Grant’s home that’s used as a TV console. This photo was featured in House Beautiful.

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 …

Lighting Dilemma Solved!

Thomas O’Brien Bryant Small Chandelier

So after much debate I finally landed on a light fixture for my dining room! I chose the Thomas O’Brien Bryant Small Chandelier, pictured above. I think the silhouette balances nicely with the curvature of my dining table and chairs and really love its delicate feel. It’s totally classic and the hand rubbed antique brass finish will develop a nice patina over time. It wasn’t one of the options I was originally considering but I’m really happy with my choice. It’s getting installed next weekend and I’ll be sure to post pics!…

Lighting Indecision!


So I really need to get rid of the cookie cutter nipple-looking light fixtures that I inherited when I moved into my rental apartment. There are two in my living room that I need to replace and I’m starting with the fixture above my dining table. Below are the lighting options I’m currently considering. I’m leaning towards the Jonathan Adler Meurice pendant or the Thomas O’Brien Hicks pendant. Which do you like best? Thanks for your opinion! xo
