What about if you leave it as is and break up the tan with a large black oval in the middle and your monogram in the middle or a favorite quote? That would help bring the black in and your eye would go straight there.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08604887460526834987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5288378010551182384.post-18387263266752990092010-04-28T10:47:07.498-05:002010-04-28T10:47:07.498-05:00I agree with a lot of the previous comments, try s...I agree with a lot of the previous comments, try shelves/bins/baskets underneath. It may cost a bit more initially, but I think you may find that it ultimately looks neater that way & then when you pull the bins out to use, you have the added benefit of them looking pretty on top of the table, too. It is a really gorgeous table! I had a folding table in my craft room that we skirted when we were selling our house, just to hide the junk, I mean stuff underneath. But I found it to be a pain to have to constantly flip up the skirt all the way to dig under there & then it covered up everything I had on the table...so if you have papers or little items out on the table they get all shifted around. If you really want to do a skirt, perhaps try it more like a curtain on a rod that can be opened & closed??? Just some thoughts! I can't wait to see the second reveal!Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03697831187370043646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5288378010551182384.post-90552502112502363682010-04-28T08:41:30.087-05:002010-04-28T08:41:30.087-05:00I understand.

Also, I think the storage would look wonderful uncovered if stored in a neat way, such as, head over to knockoffwood and get some plans to make cubbies. (Not to add to your project list!) But with cute vinyl lettering and buckets and bins, it would look wonderful. I just hate the skirt idea because it reminds me of my 80 year old grandma's kitchen sink, how they put fabric....yikes, its a step back a few centuries to me!
