Sep 29th 2009 10:19 am Restoration Hardware {worth a second look}
I had all but given up on Restoration Hardware, but they’ve impressed me with a change in direction. Inspired by iron makers and turn of the century industrial antiques – the line is looking quite good to me. I think that both the Dutch coffee table and the Brickmaker’s table are fine pieces. I would be thrilled to have either one!
This vintage inspired leather steamer trunk reminds me of the Summer house we used to rent when I was a kid. The owner was a buyer for Dayton Hudson and had collected interesting art and decor for the home. It was like nothing I had ever seen before – she used a shipping crate for a cocktail table. Needless to say, the idea of shipping containers and vintage luggage as storage has stuck with me ~ the look hits a nostalgic place in my heart.
Would you like a steamer trunk in shiny stainless with drawers for a bedside table, perhaps? I love a little something shiny on the night stand – With this look, you can “glam it up” in the most masculine way.
I also think this vintage style pedestal foyer table is absolutely on point. I love the shape, the color … completely up my alley!
Sweetie-Pie Nesting tables are also looking quite fine. Gold not your game? How about these pretties in silver?
I want to say thanks to a beautiful blog called Ill Seen Ill Said for bringing Restoration Hardware back onto my radar. What a “find” -!- If you have not been by, stop over and check it out. Always lovely – you won’t be disappointed. She touches on everything from design to antiques, to fashion … you name it! ~ Enjoy ~

I have been on the hunt for a coffee table just like that brickmaker’s table for seriously 3 years. I was so excited when I saw it at the store thinking finally my search is over! The only problem – THE SCALE!! All these pieces are like strangely gigantic. I talked at length with one of the sales people at the store about it and they said they are hearing the same thing over and over again. The collection is GORGEOUS. I love what they’re doing. But the scale isn’t practical unless you’re in a boundary-less loft space. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Restoration, make that table about 30% smaller and I swear you’ll sell more of them!

I’ve also acquired an adoration for nesting tables. Often times, I have to hold myself back or else my house would turn into a nesting table depot. Fun post! Thanks for sharing.

If you haven’t stopped into the store itself, definitely make a trip. It all looks so much more impressive in person!
PS: Thanks for your comment on my blog. Funny enough, I was reading EADL at the exact same time you were making that comment. Spooky
