Yellow Cottage Table Set 249.99
Cute as a button yellow drop Leaf table which was made in the 1940``s. It has a nice mellow yellow top with white legs. Perfect for a cottage look, or even Shabby Chic.
You can tell this table has alot of history behind it with some real crackling paint, worn spots, cracks in boards and each leaf has a piece on the inside corner where it is hardly noticeable. I think that`s what adds character, and personality.
This table also has 2 almost matching round back chairs. The back spindles and rungs are white, and rest of chairs are matching yellow.
Very pretty, great for cottage look, but also will look great in Shabby Chic room. Of coarse your room doesn`t have to be either of those. Will look fantastic in a yellow kitchen, nook, or porch.
The yellow color in picture doesn`t do it justice. If interested I can send a color sample in mail.
