Today I'm joining Barb's new party at Grits and Glamour, called Tabletop Tuesday, cause I like Barb, and I like tabletops.
I think this is such a fun meme to participate in because don't we all just love seeing eachother's vignettes and getting inspired by the beautiful accent tables and how they are decorated? I am always rearranging my accessories so this is a perfect party for me.
I'm only showing a couple this week because I wanna save some for future weeks, but these two are both in my Family Room.
The first one is my Great-Grandmother's old secretary desk I posted about that I was going to have refinished for my 40th birthday, but so many people talked me out of it because it would detract from the value, and I'm SO glad I listened! The part that comes down is off the hinges. I never got around to having it fixed, because if the top comes down it won't fit quite right in the space next to my sofa. And if I keep the top up, I can't show off the pretties inside! So, I decided to keep it just the way it is. Completely imperfect.
This little accent table Mr. MDB got me at an auction for $4. He saw it and immediately knew that I would love it. Isn't he the best! It sits next to the chair that my friend Michelle gave to me, which is next to the fireplace.
And that's it! I told you it wasn't much. But go visit Barb's blog to see beautiful tabletops!

Oh Kim I'm so glad you left this as is...and girl you have no idea how many antique pieces I have bought and spend hours trying to bring them back the way they were and cussing out the idiots that was paint over fine wood...Love this thanks for sharing...Hey are you too busy to stop by anymore...Hugs and smiles Gl♥ria
Wow, that desk is really beautiful! I love the way you have used it for display, too. Everything looks so nice!
Your grandmothers secretary is beautiful and I am sure such a treasure to you. I have a little school desk that belonged to my great grandmother and I keep it at the top of the stairs with special memorobilia on it. This is a reminder to do that for TT soon. And what a great find your DH made with the little side table. It is beautiful and I should say that both vingnettes are lovely.

Beautiful vignettes, Kim. I love the secretary desk from your grandma. What an exquisite piece. I am glad you left it as is. Your hubby's got good taste to be able to spot the beauty in that little table and what a deal! Now, I have to go look at your store. Those are lovelies down below...Christine
Your secretary is just gorgeous, Kim. I love the curve to it and the little vignette of books and pictures on it. Lovely. And the table your husband bid on for you is lovely also. Lucky girl!!
