A Good Irish Table
My Irish farmhouse table is hardworking and humble. Its simple lines, unpretentious waxed wood finish, and mellowed with age hue, are the perfect combination of form and color. Any odd chair pulled up to this classic, regardless of pedigree, looks right at home.
This wonderful old friend was once the star of the Dining Room, until we outgrew its 7 foot long, slightly cupped, single pine plank top. Now relocated to the Family Room, centered in front of the big windows, it’s the perfect spot to spread out an extensive project, or to sit down to a simple meal – after of course, clearing off a portion of said extensive project!
This Irish farm table really makes this country house a home.
Slainte!
Love, Nora
I have a table just like that (with a very old oblong basket in the middle) in the kitchen dining area in front of a Welsh cupboard. The top is made from an old barn door once the entrance to a Lancaster County Pa farmhouse. I love it as well!
I love it!!
How about those simple yet fabulous linen roman shades on the windows!
Love this.. Is this English Pine?? You mentioned it was Irish. I love pine pieces! They were really expensive years ago but have come down in price a little. This is really a pretty piece!
i absolutely adore this table. I love the chairs as well. So timeless.
Love the table — we have a similar one from Manchester, England.
But please — I am swooning over how you’ve designed your room!
The paint color, the Roman shades, etc.
I love the house plants, too.
Thank you Kay! It is all very simple and creates a lovely calming environment! Happy Spring to you! Love, Nora

Hi Stacia! The potted plants are Myrtle topiaries. They’re very happy!
Thank you and Happy Spring! Love, Nora
