Copy Cat Dining Tables

The X base dining table via Cote de Texas

Joni from Cote de Texas said that the X base wood dining room table is one that young people want today. However the four figure price tag is daunting when you are starting out. The X base table looks great in so many decor schemes whether antique influenced as in Belgian or French or Swedish style, or mixing the Trad/Rad style together (modern, traditional, vintage, antique).

Ta da! My favorite knock-off artists of decor trends, or should I say interpreters of our favorite expensive looks, Home Decorators, has some new tables that I think you will love.

First is the X base table HERE

It's very good looking and the price makes it possible to have it now. Granted it is not as grand as the expensive ones. It is solid oak, and styled up right, it could be very good looking.

I love zinc top tables. And the ones I love are again in the four figures. Ouch!

Zinc top table from Mecoxx Gardens - 4 figs 4 sure

Home decorators has one HERE for 399.!

It does need to get beat up to give it some zinc-y goodness and patina, but again, what a great place holder that would last you for a few years until you are able to upgrade.

Any of these tables could "grow" with you, versatile enough to be used as accent tables, or desks, when they have served their purpose as dining tables, when you are able make the bigger purchase.

And last but not least is this little French beauty, Louis style and distressed.
Again a big look for three figures instead of four from Home Decorators HERE

Has Anyone Bought Something From homedecorators.com?

We all get catalogs in the mail, and sometimes they are very enticing. I have been getting the Home Decorators catalog for years, and by and large have spent a few minutes looking at the stuff, wondering if any of it is worthwhile, or is it just more junk. Up until now the styles have not been anything I truly like, but lately they have caught up with a few trends .

They carry a line of Martha Stewart Living furniture that looks pretty. The pieces are wood and veneers, and finished well. The prices are moderate, and the style classic.

I picked out some other things on the web site homedecorator.com that have possibilities:

There are a ton of accessories to choose from, and I find it's good to start in the "New" section HERE. You'll find several cute pillows at really great prices.

Like all catalog merchandise, buyer be aware. It isn't the best quality, or the worst, and sometimes one or two inexpensive things can give your room a little lift. We are all shopping high and low these days.

So if anyone has gotten anything from Home Decorators, please leave a comment and tell us about it.

And don't forget The Bloggers Tag Sale goes on for one week! I have some great pieces of Majolica for sale.
