Funky Junk Interiors in having a fun Farmhouse Table Party. I love farmhouse tables of all kinds and I love the one I have. Be sure to visit and see all the other wonderful tables.
I found this table and chairs at a consignment store about 15 yrs ago for the fabulous price of $450. That's for the table and 6 chairs. It looked brand new and it is so heavy.
I didn't realize until I got it home that it was Ethan Allen. I think I got a steal.
One of the things that sold me on the table was the trestle base. Big and substantial.
The turned rope design legs are absolutely stunning. I love the beautiful wood grain that shows with each turn.
The top is a plank style with heavy distressing in some areas.
The chairs are a farmhouse windsor style chair, and they are also very heavy and substantial.
This table is so versatile it could be used anywhere, and it has a secret - - - -
The top folds in half and slides over the trestle base to become a library table. Isn't that the greatest idea.
Throw a rooster and a burlap runner on it and you have "Frenchy Farmhouse".
Thanks so much for stopping by, I always look forward to your visits.
That table is gorgeous. I like how it folds in of itself. That was a super find. Thanks for sharing. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful table! I love how it folds over like that..a perfect buffet style table! Beautiful table setting also!
ReplyDeleteMarty, your table is beautiful and VERSATILE!!!!! Love how it folds! Love the wood, I am so NOT into this big trnd of painting every wood surface white! I just love the look and feel of wood! XO, Pinky
ReplyDeleteYour table is beautiful and what a great price Marty. Like the others I'm all over the fact that the table folds into a buffet size, what a bonus. My farmers table is on our porch and since the temps are still in the 40's I won't be decorating it anytime soon. Thanks for sharing yours!
ReplyDeleteI love your table Marty! You're right, those turned legs are beautiful! And I love that you can fold it in half if you need to!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.

Hi Marty, I love your table. I have admired it ever since I started visiting your blog. And you always have it decorated so pretty. And Wow, it is very functional. Beautiful wood too. Also liked your post on Old English, I always use it. It is great. Thanks for sharing as always, Hugs, Karie
ReplyDeleteHi Marty!! I love your table and it's wonderful how it folds up to become a library table! You always have her decorated so beautifully.

That's a really great table and at $30 a year it was a great bargain.

You sure did get that table for a steal Marty and it is a beauty!! Martina
ReplyDeleteWow, Marty...You did get a steal. It is charming....love the legs on that table. It's just what I'd like to have in my dining room! Linda
ReplyDeleteWow Marty! I'm jealous!!! That's exactly the kind of table I want! And Ethan Allen!! Great find and deal!!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful table! Looks great!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous table and chairs! I am in the market for one now and hope I am lucky enough to find such a wonderful deal!
ReplyDeleteNow, this is a gorgeous farmhouse table. More on the "dressy" side..just love it to pieces.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you shared it at Donna's.
Oh my, what a beautiful table Marty! I so love anything Ethan Allen!
ReplyDeleteHugs,

You got yourself a beautiful table and for an amazing price. ANd I love the way it folds up....what a versatile piece. I just love Ethan Allen Furniture!
ReplyDeleteMarianne :)
Wow! That was a steal! Ethan Allen for $450 -- even used, that is a great bargain, and it looks brand new! Congratulations. And I love the golden colors for decorating.
ReplyDeleteOh Marty, your table is beautiful! Seriously, I think it's one of the nicest I've seen and the price was super!
ReplyDeleteMarti that is a gorgeous table.. Ethan Allen has such nice furniture.. I would say you got a great deal.. I was just there looking at tables and chairs.. a chair will run you just about what you paid for the whole set.
ReplyDeleteEthan Allen? You did get a steal. But the previous owners would probably be glad their table found such a wonderful new home. I love how you bunched up your cloth and added the tall candles. So pretty.
ReplyDeleteOh do I love that table Marty!
ReplyDeleteAnd you have created so many beautiful tablescapes on top of it!
Hugs friend,
Cindy
Beautiful table!! The wood is gorgeous, and the chairs remind of my first dining set -- wish I had kept it rather than going for the yellow pine look a few years ago. Just my luck!
ReplyDeleteGoodness Marty, that's some table! Love it's versatility, and as you said 'what a steal'. I love twist legs anyway :o)
ReplyDeleteHave a great 'rest' of the weekend.
Best wishes

What a fabulous table...and chairs. You definitely got a steal with this Ethan Allen. I bet you wouldn't be able to get it today for that price...seems like consignment and thrift stores are going up on their prices as well as everyone else.
ReplyDeleteThat is a super duper find. I love the barley twist detail too.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing feature for such a beautiful table! Just beautiful chairs too! Way to go, Marty!
ReplyDeleteWow! What a beautiful dining set! And you did get a steal! I love the "frenchy country" look! As always, you inspire me! Have a great Sunday!
ReplyDeleteYou sure did a get a steal Marty. That is a gorgeous table. I love that it is versatile too!
ReplyDeleteI've always loved your table, Marty! And, love it even more now knowing what a "steal of a deal" you got it for! Love the turned legs ... and, how neat that it can be turned into a library table, too! Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love this table! I don't think I've seen a farmhouse table that I didn't like. Yours is so versatile too...and the finish is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a blessed day!
Pat
I do LOVE that plank top, Marty!
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Hi Marty, Yes you did get a wonderful steal on your Ethan Allen farm table and 6 chairs. My parents loved Ethan Allen which was/is very popular in the NE. Your table legs are stunning. I myself love farm tables but do not have room now. You home is always so lovely. Have you lived in the same home all your marriage? Thank you for stopping by and leaving a sweet comment. Blesssings.
ReplyDeleteThat's just gorgeous, and can't believe you got an Ehtan Allen table and chairs for that price.
ReplyDeleteI want to shope with you!
I love the way it folds to be a library table.
Marty, I've always loved this table when I've seen it in the past, but if I knew how little you paid for it, I had forgotten. What a fabulous deal! You find the best buys! laurie
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful buy. Your table and chairs are classics so they will never go out of style.
ReplyDeleteAnd the "secret" is too cool. Two tables for the (partial) price of one!
I want to go shopping with you.....that table is gorgeous, and I love the trestle base! The chairs are lovely, also, and it looks like it belongs in your home.
ReplyDeleteYour table is so beautiful and it being Ethan Allen is such a steal!...Christine
ReplyDeleteYes, you did "steal" that tabel and chairs. How beautiful they are. I too love the sturdiness of them and the style too.
ReplyDeleteThe library table idea is amazing. Great for a buffet too.
Hi Marty,
ReplyDeleteI love farmhouse tables too...And yours is absolutely beautiful! I love that it can be used as a library table too. What a great find. Can't wait to run over to Funky Junk Interiors and see what others are sharing...Have a wonderful new week.
Hugs and Kisses,

Is lovely... I've been dreaming with a cuntry/farm table for a long time now... I love yours! Oh, and I would like to link to your next tabletop tuesday party, but it will have to be on Wednesday when my next post will be up... Would that be OK with you?
ReplyDeleteGreetings

You got a real deal on that table and chairs! I forget the name of that line of furniture, but it was popular when I married in 1977. I bought an end table and a butler tray table in that line. I know I paid 300 for the butler tray table,
ReplyDeletefrom EA. Yep, more money than sense at the time! Happy for you; that is a fabulous table! Blogless Peggy
Oh Mrty, this table is gorgeous and so well made! I love this kind of good furnitureand the chairs are so nice too! Great deal for Ethan Allen, it was not anything cheap, I used to drewel over them when I was young and had no money for much! Now, Why didn't I see it before, I missed this great post!

I do like your trestle table. My hubby made me one in pine and I used it for many years when the family was all here. When I needed more cuboard space it was two big. I now have a harvest table that was my mothers. Your vignette is a happy and cheerful for the kitchen.
ReplyDeleteI love your table, so neat that it folds in half and its from Ethan Allen! Love that you live in Surprise! My inlaws live in Grand also! You might even know Ernie and Laraine! Love your blog.
