The Restored Attic

In a perfect homage to primitive style is this wooden-box-turned-coffee-table. Nothing says “Americana” style more than this. Partner to The Restored Attic, Mr. DavidandCharlotte Burke is the creator of this original piece that he discovered upside down in someone’s trash. The army green was already there- it just needed to be cleaned and sanded down. The table has been sealed to bring out the grain of the wood. Notice the rare corner joints. The trim, made of old barn wood, is 1” wide. The legs are recycled bedposts with felt tips to keep from scratching floors. Open and close the drawer with ease, thanks to European drawer glides. You can find this piece and more at our booth at the Carriage House Antiques Market and Cafe.
It measures: 31” wide, 17” long, 20” tall.

What started out as a discarded cabinet on a construction work sight has found new life as a kitchen island. Thanks to the discerning eye of my partner, David Burke, he discovered this and loaded it up on his truck. Thankfully, he didn’t stop there. After adding intricate wood details, he then went to a construction warehouse in Nashville and purchased the 75 lb., 2” thick slab of solid maple for the island’s top. Tung oil is what keeps the top polished. The island measures 32” tall and 48” wide, and can seat 3, possibly 4 people. The brand new base is made by Bertch, a maker of fine cabinetry. Each drawer is fashioned together with dove tail joints. There is plenty of storage inside for extra appliances, cookbooks, food or odds and ends. Beautiful iron brackets can be found supporting the butcher block overhang. Need to move it to mop? No problem! It comes with 3” casters you can lock down.
This would be beautiful in any kitchen.
Feel free to contact me concerning price.

What do you get when you combine 4 metal boxes and wooden legs? A really, really cool table.
I bought the drawers and found the table legs and the talented David Burke made it into a functional and beautiful, mixed-element table. Contact me for info concerning prices.

You’re not going to believe this before and after. I acquired this asymmetrical table base from Art and Mystery Woodworks’ Christopher Deming. I knew this needed to be a table base. But to find the right wood.....that’s where my partner, the immensely talented David Burke came in. He took two cross sections of his backyard tree that was just recently chopped down, and joined them together with a metal brace. After soldering metal to fit in the cracks, he added a thick, clear coat of epoxy, to give it a sleek, high-end finish. This exquisite piece has it all. A metal base with a slab of nature affixed to the top. This table won’t be available for long. You know you want it for your living room. It’ll be a show stopper that has all your guests (once this quarantine ends) asking “where’d you get that table?!”
