The Original Herringbone



I feel like this one needed to be mentioned on the blog. This was one of my all time favorites and pretty much what made this style into a signature piece for Peacock Door Designs. The frame and legs of this coffee table just screamed to me "Make me pretty!!!" I don't have the before pictures but it was that orange/brown with black speckles. I have no idea what the center originally was either, it was completely missing when I got a hold of it. I had a friend that was looking for a coffee table and liked my work so I made the suggestion that I paint the frame black and figure out what to do with the center. He ran with it and I am so glad!

This became the first herringbone coffee table.

(drying and before it was sealed)

This one even went out of state! He sent me some pictures of it in his home and I'm so glad he enjoys it. This has become one of the most requested coffee tables for me now.

Another Herringbone Table

The herringbone pattern is one of my favorites, I love it. I love the texture and the look of the angles. I made this table a while back for another male client and then had many many requests for the same. This one is a little bit different. The request from this particular man was to have it be very rustic, plain legs and the entire table stained, no paint at all. So, I got to it!


If you know me at all, you know I am a huge nerd...but I did steal this mug from my son.







I love how this one turned out too. This pattern just makes me so happy!
