Exotic Wood Dining Tables by Costantini Design

The beauty of the Luca table by Costantini Design is in the distinctive grain of the exotic wood. Simple, but far from plain, the table is shown here in incredible Guayubira wood, with a natural semi-gloss finish. Firmly mounted on two solid wood pedestals, this exotic wood dining table is an impressive 96' L x 48' W x 30' H. Other dimensions are also available. A family owned company, Costantini Design creates furniture the way that you want it. You can choose from a wide range of woods, such as the Walnut shown below or unusual species like Bubinga or Zebrawood, and a selection of finishes… antiques, gold leaf and patina, to name a few. Bring the family together for mealtimes over a dining table from Costantini Design.

Spanner in the works!

When I posted yesterday about what to do with my dining table, I knew you guys would come up with some great ideas. But just when I thought I'd narrowed down my decision, I find myself with a conundrum of sorts - a new player has entered the game! Thanks to all the great ideas you've come up with, I'm now thinking zinc might be just what I'm looking for. Tricia Rose and Jules (gorgeous girls - you really have to check out their fab blogs if you haven't already) suggested zinc, so in the interests of research, I found these lovelies:

 this base is very similar to mine

So now, before I make my final decision, I'm going to check out the availability of zinc sheeting, and also the price. I love that it gets better with age, is durable and hard-wearing, and looks amazing to boot. 
 
Thanks for the feedback everyone - I love that decorating has now become a collaborative process!

Dining table - which look to go for?

So...as part of my kitchen/dining room makeover, I'm thinking I might completely change my dining table. At the moment, we've been using a timber table we bought years ago, in a huge rush before the rellies arrived to visit our new home. We bought it purely for size and serviceability, and it's been impervious to the rough and tumble dished out by a family of five. Oh, and it was also sturdy enough to handle being used as a makeshift dance floor by one rather flamboyant toddler! 

Now, I just so happen to have a few dining tables stashed away in my shed. I know I sound like a crazy hoarder type, but really, how could I pass up the chance to buy antique timber turned-leg tables for next to nix? But - there's one little problem - at the moment, the largest of the tables has a nasty chip-board top. To replace it, I can't decide whether to go for lovely, recycled timber (either limed or painted white), or I might just top it with a piece of marble I also happen to have in the shed (don't judge me!) So, you know the drill, what do you think? Here are some ideas I like, and I'd love your opinions as usual.

Oh, and don't forget this table will be paired with my soon-to-be-revamped mirror, with a sideboard underneath. I always have the same problem when making these decisions - I like so many different looks. But I need to remind myself that nothing has to be forever, so my plan is to choose a look for as long as I like it, and then change it up again! 


Hope you're all having a great day,
