I actually stuck two feet inside the Asheville Habitat Restore ya’ll.
Not that I have anything against it, but I just don’t drive away with much down there. They have tons upon TONS of stuff in that place but not much that I can afford to resell, if that makes any sense . Now, if I were keeping it? It would be a hell of a deal. But the first rule of The Furniture Flipper’s Handbook is………
Don’t Get High On Your Own Supply.
I don’t break that rule very often.
Oh my Lord those legs! I just grabbed the tag and headed to the checkout. Resistance was definitely futile. If anyone knows anything about this era of furniture please let me know. The curves are devine!
I chose Amulent Furniture pains’s Olive Branch . It is a dark olive green that I can’t seen to lay off of. I use green as an accent color in our home frequently . It’s a pop of (natural) color without being jarring. Plus it works well with our gray walls.
The natural top was a happy accident. I sanded off what was left of the old finish and just loved the look of it. To protect it I gave it a coat of Annie Sloan clear wax.
Lord the details on this one…….
Yes please :)))))
This color is so lush ya’ll!

I’m not an expert by any means, but from the curves and leg details, it appears to be a reproduction of a Victorian style variation of a “refectory” style side table. Based on long, refectory dining tables originally intended for use in medieval-era monasteries, they typically were made of oak and had four corner legs connected by low cross-braces connecting them for stability. Yours, being smaller and very narrow, only two legs with perpendicular floor braces, connected by a single cross-brace, were sufficient for stability.
Love the olive green!
