We're absolutely smitten with this two-toned Emerald Midcentury stunner by Cassie at Primitive & Proper! "I decided playing it safe is for sissies. And I am no sissy.

Check out this crazy little table!! This sturdy, unique table was built by hand by someone long ago. It's definitely not "fine" furniture... no, whoever built this was not bothered by the details, I think it was meant merely to "function", and I LOVE IT!! I left the top and the trim on the drawers alone. The color of the stain is perfectly rustic, and the finish is in great shape, I merely added a little color. Since the piece seemed masculine in nature, I went with the best Navy Blue out there...
