Cold Hard Steel

Yesterday was spent unloading and reloading the box truck! Now this is a job I usually don't mind, but is was so cold you couldn't stand to put your hands on any of this metal without gloves!

The Tailgate Show in Nashville requires us to carry a different load than normal! White does not sell there so I don't even bother taking it! And, industrial is the only other thing I like to deal in!

Thought I would give you a sneak peek at what we had been up to! Not sure how this booth is going to turn out, but I will do my best!

Industrial lingerie chest?
That's what it looks like to me!
Cool piece without paint!

This huge cabinet looks better in real life!
Great storage piece!

Some more of Craig's fabulous tables!

These little round tables started out life as trash cans.
The wire mesh is copper!
This is one of my favorites!
This started out life as a bicycle rack!
We turned it up side down and put a top on it!
Perfect coffee table now!
Little table has a cute zinc top,
looks white, but it's not!
Love these chairs as well!
They had waffled up inserts for the chair bottoms
and we replaced them with metal disks!
They had tons of paint on them, gone now!

TOT
For all those who ask for prices, I am going to my booth today and I will get back to you with answers to your questions! Thanks!

Love Craig's tables! Good luck with the show, it all looks fantastic--I like industrial, and the young buyers will love it. Hope you sell out!

Isn't it funny how at one show you couldn't give away stuff they like at another.

I find the blog world so funny! Just when I start obsessing about something the same thing turns up on someone's blog and I fall in love all over again with the idea - like your industrial pieces. I've been searching for a fabricator to turn some of my tables into zinc top tables - no luck so far though! Any tips on how I'd do that?

Love the pieces!

I'm more of an industrial gal, too! I would proudly have any of that in my home, ESPECIALLY the bicycle rack table, I LOVE THAT!!! :-)

Very cool stuff! I get goose bumps just thinking about touching metal when it's cold outside!

I hope you have great luck at the show and come home with an empty truck (except for the treasures you buy)!
