Show and Tell Monday

We got a lot done this weekend, pricing, packing, cleaning David's camper.

I got this heavy, iron table cleaned up. Thought about painting it black, but plenty of folks still like rusty white. So, I think I'll leave it as is. How would you like it?

Pretty
David and I be taking our first trip to the fields of Warrenton this weekend. We'll do a little reconnaissance of our surroundings without the benefit of thousands of shoppers and buyers there. Wanna see the camper we'll be staying in? You know how I am about not showing you the goods. So, ignore the goods. Pay attention to the camper only. *wink*

The camper is a 25 foot luxury. Shower, toilet, microwave, good size fridge, decent size closet for all my clothes.

Here is a table top I bought for an industrial table base. But, I like the primitive wood on the back side so much that I decided to sell it as is. Can't you see this hanging over a mantle? Stencil a word or frame a sign with it? Lots of possibilities!
I like this wood
Of course, I got a little shopping in this weekend. I am loving these two chairs. I'll try to schmooze David into cutting some bottoms for them. Maybe cover them in burlap for the show. Hmmm...

I hope you've enjoyed this little show and tell.

Happy Monday!

    I did enjoy the show and tell, Mindy!

    I'd leave the table the way it is - rusty and white. Have fun in your luxury camper, it sounds like lots of fun.
    Have a great week!

    Great stuff! Love the table top too...not sure what I'd do with it, but it looks interesting. I have the same chair that you have on the left and it has no seat either. I put a plant in it and called it a day...:-)

    Well I wish you luck in the empty fields, maybe you'll find a treasure or two that someone left behind from the year before. You never know. I'll be right behind you too taking my RV down there early as well.

    I vote leave it white. If they want it a color, there's always spray paint. Wish we could send some of our cool weather. Just hope it holds out until our open house. Love the camper. Jan

    Mindy, great stuff. I would paint the iron base black. I have been painting a lot of black lately and my customers are loving it...We are not as rustic in CA as in TX. White with rust is in but I think the black looks so Frenchie. lol. Sandi

    Glad you're not painting the table - it's perfect as is. BTW, nice leg by the trailer. I think you've definitely got some curious goods there, Mindy.

    Table is perfect in the rusty white. My husband and I are doing the camper thing in Canton this weekend and I can't wait.

    I'd say it was an overwhelming "leave it as is". Therefore, I thank you. One less thing for me to do! Perhaps I can find a glass top for it between now and then though. It's always something! Thanks for the input y'all. That was fun! ~Mindy
