I had this great post all worked out too! I was going to use "The Time Machine" (which just happens to be one of my favorite books/movies) and tie Vintage Inspiration Friday to Industrial Chic. Clever, huh? You'd think so, but sadly time and a cold were my own worst enemies!
This drafting table isn't my enemy though. In fact, it's my new BFF! It's got rivets, style, a patinaed bronze frame with just a touch of rust...everything I love in a friend including a place for me to rest my weary bones.
This is as far as I got on my project and believe me...there is still plenty going on inside this noodle o'mine for the final look.
Scoot over Cat Daddy...this man-basket is my new love. (Somebody get me a St. Bernard and a Manhattan with a twist!) Tall, chunky, handy as heck...everything I love in a man AND I only have to tell it once what I want it to do starting with just stand there and look pretty!
No, this isn't a kick stand in case you were wondering or even training wheels! The stool is actually attached to the desk and swings down into place. How handy dandy is that? I'm telling y'all...back in the day, they thought of everything!
Sadly, I'll only get to live with these two for a few months, then they will be heading to the Greatest Show On Dirt to make someone else happy.
One final tidbit before I clock out. I just heard from a reliable source that the mask has been pulled off the Lone Stranger! Oh My!

That basket is quite a find... crazy cool! I have a drafting table too, I love it but it will probably have to be sold too, just not a square inch left here @ 612 to put another table :( ofcourse I could replace the stove with it, I'm not a big fan of cooking anyway!!LOL!!! Feel better very soon, Theresa xoxo

Thank you so much, I love your industrial drafting table, and man basket. It's all so you and so industrial. If you haven't already, go ahead and link it up, I left the linky open.

Hey Girlfriend...
You still can't have that same cold can you???? That's way tooooo long to be sicky, get antibiotics girl, just in case!!!
Now I for once am well, even with my kindergarten carrier monkey running around the house. That's very unusual for me...I'd better knock on wood or something.
Love your oh so cool, vintage drafting table & the attached chair...who would have thunk, huh!
Dreamin of spring & a 2nd appearance at Round Top...miss your clouds! & you!
Smiles,
Susie
Oh my. I have just been knocked back. I love that drafting table with stool. I actually have an old drafting table but it's clearly nothing compared to yours!
