Industrial Chic at The Arbour

Here at The Arbour, we get very excited when we find a new source, especially one that is local.  Recently, Patti was at an antiques show on Whidbey Island and made friends with Brenda Wahl, alias Circle Creek Home, a purveyor of great vintage finds and handmade soaps, among many other things.  They discussed what else Brenda and her husband, John do and turns out they make tables from reclaimed wood.  At the time, we didn't need any tables, so Patti bought a few things for the shop and went on her merry way.

About a week ago, I sold Patti's most favorite table ever in The Arbour made by a French woman who incidentally moved back to France.  With the pressure on to replace it, Patti contacted Brenda and three days later we had not one, but two new tables!

The wood used to make these industrial farmhouse tables was reclaimed from a barn in Snohomish County, near Brenda and John's base of operation in Arlington.  One table is standard height with a great horizontal application of the wood on top.  The other is like a dream come true.  Counter-height at 36 inches high, the top is made up of three long planks and we had them add a shelf to the bottom.  Hello kitchen island or potting table???

We couldn't stop looking at it all day and it made redoing the window and changing the shop around on Saturday a truly joyful experience.  Thank you Brenda and John!
