hen I first saw this item at a sale in Wisconsin this summer, I didn't think much of it. Besides being surrounded by tons of other items, it also had the cover on. After walking by it a gazillion times, I finally turned it around and saw these words above. After further investigation (ie, removing the cover), I was surprised to see this inside...

Well, I finally got around to doing a project with this fun piece. To help me show you what I did, Heywood & Wakefield have generously taken time from their schedule to make a guest appearance. "Hello," says Heywood. "Tally ho," says Wakefield. {note: Heywood & Wakefield have taken on British accents, so please read the following with that in mind.}

They've come dressed to the nines in their retro Hollywood style. If you can't tell them apart, Heywood is wearing the dark fur and Wakefield is sporting the brown.


Heywood says, "To begin this simple transformation, simply remove the lid. You can see the fabulous jar inside. No one knows for sure what was transported in this liquid shipping crate."

Wakefield continues, "We borrowed a glass round from another table, set it on top, and then added some bits and baubles."

"Oh, so simple," says Heywood. "Any chair would love to have this table next to him. Wakefield and I simply adore it."

"Most assuredly, Heywood, you are correct. It is most perfect for tea time or simply enjoying a fireside chat," concurs Wakefield.

I hope you enjoyed Heywood & Wakefield's guest hosting. They love to be in front of the camera every chance they get. With that much talent, I don't blame them! What's that, Heywood? Tea? I'll ask them. Heywood & Wakefield cordially invite you to tea. Wakefield says you can even sit on his lap. Cheeky chairs!
Coming up next...

Amazing...just adding that glass top and sweet accents...doesn't even look the same. Do tell, what is that odd looking piece in the background....under that gorgeous chandelier? Can't wait to see a post on that!

I love it! What did you do with the top and the jar?
ReplyDeleteI can't get past the fact that you have part of a rotary grater as your decor! If you don't know what I am talking about, the link below is just one example.
