Today’s Crush: Handpainted Chinoiserie Cocktail Table

The convenience of shopping at midnight in my pajamas is really giving my credit card a workout. I should really stop but I keep finding amazing bargains like this hand painted Chinoiserie style table:

v76349

It’s only $249.05 and I want it very, very badly.

I recently read somewhere that one of the decorators on HGTV (Taniya Nayak, I think) furnished her entire house with things she bought online. At first I thought, “no way” but then I realized that as much as I shop online these days, I could totally do that! How much of your shopping is done on the internet?

    Lovely lovely lovely!

    I'm from Argentina and down here I also buy lots of things online, like a new table I got, entirely made of wood, ready to be used, with a dark brown top and white legs, very very nice, with a country look we can say.

    Highly recomended, you can finde incredible prices. My table was less than 100 dollars.

    Have a nice weekend.

    First of all the table is just divine…and second, I do soooooooooo much shopping online. Often this is followed by a visit to see items in person, but it is a great way to edit and save time.

    That is a lovely table, especially the recessed surface. I grew up with a mother who bedecked our home in oriental rugs, lacquered tables, and collected imari china. Like mother, I find myself gravitating to some of the same pieces, though with a slightly more minimalist aesthetic.

    Does the top detach as a tray and the legs breakdown for storage?

    Oh – get it! Is is wonderful! (And it is not a chunky sofa you are buying – you can always send it back). I buy more smaller things on-line. Sofas and chairs I feel I want to sit in before I sign the credit card slip. Happy week, friend! Mon

    Lesley: I can see why he would be hesitant with a bigger item. It's kind of scary not knowing what it feels like.

    Raina: That sounds like my list!

    Greet: When it does, it'll change your life!

    Lydia: Yes, the top is removable and can be used as a tray and the legs fold down.

    i'm an interior designer, and i shop online for projects All. The. Time. before buying, i search for other people's reviews of the item, because they typically tell you if something is cheap or a hassle to return. i've been burned once or twice in the past by shopping at really obscure online places, so i tend to avoid those. also, some places offer free shipping on returns, or hassle-free returns, etc. i also try to shop at sites that also have physical locations, because if i completely hate something, it can typically be returned in the store.
