A few weekends ago Jon and I went to one of our favorite local consignment shops, Elemente. It's located in the Art Space downtown near Gateway. We were going to look at a flat file, that we were considering getting for Jon's brother Jason.
We ended up getting the flat file, but while we were there I fell in love with this table.
At the time I didn't need another table, but it has personality and I couldn't pass it up. I told Jon that I would get rid of my current desk at home to make room for it. My desk at the time was a little number I picked up from Target. Nothing fancy, but it worked.
The woman at the shop told me that she thought the people who brought it in mentioned that it was Mormon Pine, but that she couldn't guarantee this. Honestly, it didn't really matter to me, I just loved the rustic appeal of this piece.
I paid and we took the table outside thinking that it we could just throw it in Gherti (my Mazda wagon) and it would totally fit. I have moved two different tables and a vintage metal porch glinder in my car before. Unfortunately, this table was a little too tall and wide to fit. But as we were trying to get it in the car I noticed the following stamp on the bottom of the table.
(St. Louis Coffin Co)
Now some might find this a little weird, a table made from wood from the St. Louis Coffin Co. I. however, think that this table is just more unique and has an even better personality to it.
