I don't know where to find a table like this

11 years ago

I've just joined this Site and hoping someone will know where to find a table like that seen on ABC's "Scandal". The table is large and used as a conference room table, but I want it so badly for a dining room table. Any ideas on where to find or something similar much appreciated. Here's a photo borrowed from another design site.

Jilly_B - It looks a lot like the one I am posting below that is available at West Elm. There is a sheen to the table from Scandal which this doesn't have, but can be easily achieved by adding a sealant/gloss to the West Elm table.

A little further research led me to discover the table from Scandal was custom built, so you won't be able to find that exact one, but you should be able to find something close to it that you like. Good luck!

HI MARINA, I love your bedroom- great high ceilings. Your furniture is also nice. I would follow the lead from the furniture keeping all furniture white. I love tropical coastal style. I would put up a white ceiling fan and ikea sell some white nets that let in loads of light and give privacy. I would decorate the walls in an off white with a hint of pink in it for warmth and to bring out the tones in your beautiful floor. I would collect local art for the walls. I would go to town on the bedding and cushions for the bed. I would mix your favourite colours- turquoise, teal, with green and coral. Making the room have a tropical coastal beach hotel vibe. I would feel like I was on holiday every day and never want to leave. Once you've surrounded yourself with personal things like photo frames of loved ones, plants/ flowers etc, you will feel right at home and settled. I've loved decorating for years, and tried lots of colours on walls but recently I've returned to off whites as they are so flexible and you can change the look with coloured accessories regular. "2 good books to read are Greg Natale - 'A tailored interior'- He's great, and tells you trade secrets to give your home the wow factor an be your own interior designer. Also anything by Barclay Butera - he's the best for coastal/beach styles. Wishing you lots of fun.

Curtains look neutral as does the carpet. Personally I would keep these to start with and paint the walls a mid grey which might sound bold when originally you wanted white but it will be broken up a lot by the windows and kitchen. If it is possible to get rid of the peninsular the kitchen will feel less imposing. Since the kitchen is open to the living room I would be trying to find a cupboard elsewhere to house this although you can get washers with a timer which you can set when you go to bed and they finish as you get up in the morning. Rectangular dining tables work when you have a straight wall perhaps a circular table would be better here. I would use masking tape on the floor to help visualise furniture placement. Try putting a sofa in the middle of the room, with the side to the front door and it facing the opposite corner to the kitchen.

I agree, there would originally have been just one cast iron spindle per stair. The newel post would have been wooden I think and you'll be able to pick up a new, traditional style pine one from any timber merchant, probably less than £100. It's a shame that the 'bullnoses' have been cut back but if it was all sanded down and painted or varnished to blend in I don't think it would look wrong at all. The alternative is to get a joiner to make up bullnose profile pieces to attach to the end of each tread, but you'd have to paint them as the wood wouldn't match the original. Replacing every tread would cost a fortune. The banister rail will sand down with a bit of hard work and probably be a nice piece of wood underneath that you can varnish. It'll look lovely once it's done, you'll have to post 'after' picture for us!

Agreed you are probably battle weary and over thinking it. Indeed you liked previous floor which you had no input in. Laminate will give you same problem in trying to find suitable colour. I find if I cannot make a decision something is wrong with my choices and I was like you with many samples but didn’t like anything. Perhaps you need to give it a break for a while, or if it’s something you must decide soon, be open to something completely different colour wise. I imagine you are looking at similar colours that you think will work but none are, so maybe this needs to be re thought through and perhaps introduce new colour options. That’s what I did and eventually family chose as we were all getting fed up! Whilst it’s not at all what I would have said I wanted at the outset, I don’t mind it at all now and colour works well. Perhaps post images of the furniture you are trying to compliment and ask for suggestions? You can also look at different manufacturers. I find Polyflor have a good selection and particularly like their commercial and expona ranges but home ones are also good. https://www.polyflor.com/jh/products.nsf/products!open&family=lux

Jilly, if you find something from environment that you like try google searching the name of the table and see if there are any other companies selling the piece. Many times, distributers buy pieces from them and can sell them at a much lower price than you see on the environment website. I have several of their pieces and the qualitty is impeccable and will last a lifetime.

jilly_b, There are so many exotic hardwoods to use....I go for interesting fast growing local woods...so Madrone and Eucalyptus, throw in some American cherry and some walnut (the last two not fast growing but US product). Loved the butternut idea, but it is so soft, I'd reserve it for a distressed look. Or go all reclaimed woods. Scavenging pallet sticking gives me mahogany and oak. A trip to my hardwood supply with 50,000 sq. ft. of hardwoods and plywoods might give an idea. Where are you located? I can give you a local hardwood supplier to browse through and start with your wood selections...then you just have to find a local artisan to do the work.

Jilly - Check out this website. I found it yesterday doing a google search for your table (which I also admire while watching scandal :) - someone had it on their Pinterest board and someone named Jeremy Williams claimed to have built it. I went on his page and he had a bunch of stuff from this company in that style.

Hey Ironwood: I'm in the east bay, not too far from you. This is a project to do in the next 3-6 months as finances allow. Also, another poster found the exact table down in Socal from a millwork co. I also love the idea of scavenging from different pellets.

You can also find reclaimed wood tables on etsy (I am also looking to replace my dining room set with a similar table). Most are not as polished as the Scandal table, but a few will custom make a table. I love the idea of the Scandal table, but my reality (three messy kids) says to downgrade to something I wouldn't faint over if someone etched their name into it.

Jilly_b, MacBeath Hardwoods, 980 Ashby Ave in Berkeley, has a great assortment of hardwoods to select from. Scavenging pallets will be a bit time consuming...but I'm game. Look up my profile and give me a call. We'll go hardwood hunting. I'm about an hour from MacBeath and I can pick up some samples of local woods Monday (I need to go in to my supplier anyway, I'm ordering some freaky hinges for a set of disappearing doors). Three to six months fits with my time frame too. We'll discuss at your leisure. I'll check out the millworker down south too.

Jilly_b, The table and bench you like are made from reclaimed oak wine barrels. I have no idea as to where to get any here in Sonoma County...HAH! We'll talk more about the wood selection and the base as you get figured out.

Speaking of Berkeley...There is a place on San Pablo Ave. near University that sells salvaged items. I think it's called Ohmega Salvage. In their yard, they usually have a bunch of old doors behind the clawfoot bathtubs. If they charge too much for the doors, just ask where you can find salvaged wood.

I'm opting to make my own table (sadly, I no longer live in California). It won't be as pretty, but I found a plan for the table online, and supposedly, it isn't difficult. I think the challenge will come from all the staining of the different pieces in the table top and making the finish that smooth.

looks like flooring material. If you look closer repeat pattern. It is flooring laminate on a board. That Chanel hand bag is too obvious. It is like department store display. Table is a fixture.

They did an incredible table on an episode of House Crashers I watched yesterday. They used tounge and groove hardwood flooring. They laid it out on a piece of plywood of the size they wanted, and glued the T and G together, then used straps to put pressure on it while drying. I think you could do something similar DIY with a table kit base and a mix of pre-finished hardwoods of the same size and style but different colors.

Toijames, Ohmega is a great place for architectural salvage...but for reclaimed wood, I prefer Heritage Salvage in Petaluma. Redwood and oak wine and water tanks, oak and madrone beams, eucalyptus planks, Doug fir...no exotic woods or very little...but a great source. Sorry you left the Bay Area!

Been pricing materials for this table depending on the edge used can be built for around 4 to 5 hundred dollars I'm going with a bronze metallic side .coffee table and end tables my wife flipped when I showed her lol. And Cindy Quinton above is right about the table on DIY not very hard to build either awesome project.

Ironwood, I so wish I were back in the Bay Area. I'd seek you out to craft the table for me as well. I found a place near me in New Jersey that has a lot of the reclaimed wood. I don't think I'll be finding any old wine tanks around here, but barns and flooring will work just fine. I think Kristina above is right. It does look like flooring, but Millworks says it's actually reclaimed wine barrels.

After 18 months, I'm nearly finished with my table. I loved learning to work with wood! My table is not perfect, but it's GORGEOUS! The reclaimed oak and walnut ran me about $700 (making benches too). I also bought or rehabbed my own power tools. I'll post photos after the finishing is done. Oh! And I now know how to lay hardwood flooring, too! ;-)

Look up Ernest Wardner, he is based out of Alabama but ships or delivers everywhere. His team and him can make anything! I fell in love with a beaten copper top table that was too big for my dinning room so I told him what I was looking for and he's custom making it. His prices are also very good. You can find him on FB.
