Lace Doily Table
It's here! my lace doily table, custom made by my friend Marcia Stuermer of Fossil Faux Studios.
The tabletop is acrylic resin, embedded with lace doilies, many of which were made by my great grandmother. The rest were collected from eBay as well as San Francisco's Chinatown. At 51" in diameter, the table is scaled perfectly to the room, and can seat 6 comfortably.
It has a different color and glow in varying light.
And it looks great with my late relative lyre-back chairs.
I could not be more excited about this. It's perfect!

Hi Lynne,
What an incredible table. I have hundreds of doilies that my great-grandmother made filling up drawer and closet space because I couldn't think of an original way to use them. Thanks for visiting my blog. I added you to my "calling cards" list. You have so many beautiful projects on your blog that I spent an hour yesterday reading it. Especially loved the black and white floor in an entry way with the dark stained ballister.
