  • Three Silver Side Tables

    Three Silver Side Tables


    hr 644

    Target has their new pieces out for spring, and I’m working with them today to feature one of the new side tables. I chose a silver drum table because I like that the finish is shiny enough to reflect whatever is nearby (that red rug in front warms it up a lot), but it doesn’t show fingerprints and the hammered detail gives it texture and interest.

    Silver Drum Side Table

    I try to have a coffee or side table within reach of each seat so there’s always a place to set down a drink (or as is usually the case here because of the kids, a place to leave your toy cars, horse figures, and Lego people). Of course, they also make for good opportunities to bring in a few accessories, like the flowers and candle that I picked up.

    A drum table is versatile enough to pair with sofas and chairs in a wide variety of styles — even as a bedside table or extra seating as a stool. I’ve been working a lot with brass and warm metals in this house, so I thought it would be fun to switch it up and take a look at silver instead. I matched up the same metallic drum table with a different chair, and also pulled in two other options in my sketch below. (These are so fun to draw!)

    Target Side Tables and Chairs

    1. Candace Arm Chair (Garden Craft Seafoam)
      The feminine lines of this chair are great, and it comes in a bunch of patterns and colors.

    2. Threshold Silver Drum Accent Table
      A classic shape gets a metallic update.

    3. Safavieh Accent Table (Silver)
      Slender and stylish. A cute little table just big enough to set a drink down on.

    4. Threshold Rope Wrapped Accent Table with Hammered Metal Top
      The rope detail would be at home in a beachy setting, but the hammered metal and geometric base give it a bit of edge that helps the table work with a more modern style too.

    5. Safavieh Sasha Club Chair (Tan)
      Such a great, neutral chair. Would be perfect as a pair facing a sofa.

  • The New Side Table

    The New Side Table

    Yes, yes, yes. The new table looks awesome.

    I got mine for a song (15% off, plus some store credit), but a couple of people pointed out this excellent alternative yesterday. The carved pattern is a little different (though still nice), and it’s a little more affordable.

    Now I really want to finish painting the trim in the living room. And if I were feeling fancy I’d stage the table with pretty decorative objects and fresh flowers, but the reality is that it will be soon have coloring books and action figures on top, no doubt.

  • Carved Wood Side Table

    Carved Wood Side Table

    I was a big fan of this coffee table when it came out and I wrote about it here, but I decided it was too low (and potentially tippy) for our living room. The new side table version, however?

    It may just be perfect next to the crazy floral chair. I still love the little table that we have there, but it’s too spindly (and tippy!), and I’ve been looking for something with more presence. I think I have some store credit too which, as we all know, is essentially free money. (Never mind that I did actually spend that money once upon a time.)

    What do you think?
