Today’s Crush: Handpainted Chinoiserie Cocktail Table

January 30, 2010 | 21 Comments

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.

    I love it – the detail on the top is fantastic and it’s a great price. However, I’m totally dumbfounded to learn that NBC has cute things like this in their online store. Who knew?

    Hate to say it, but almost all of my shopping is done online or at Ikea (groan). Even if I buy it in a store, I’ve typically already scouted it out online.

    How are you??? How are the new digs? You getting unburied over there?

    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’s beautiful!

    I have purchased lots of window treatments online and some fabrics, although the latter has been only somewhat successful.

    I have been contemplating getting some dining room chairs online — but my husband is a little hesitant!

    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.
