The day after the lily trick, nini also helped me to carry back this table from Urban Outfitters (one of my favorite stores) from the upper west side. It's a special item at the store (a real antique piece, not a remake) and it was love at the first sight. nini warned me on the style and it was true that it was quite different compare to the rest of my kitchen, but I decided to take a chance. The result: unlike other pieces, it didn't merge in the room, it stood out. The look is refreshing yet there is a sense of the past. The dark green paint on the surface of the table is fading, and that gives the table a washed-out quality. We have a true table for two now. We've had lots of yummy meals and fun chats in this small corner.
