Table Talk

Posted on by

It’s that time of year-table time.  And we thought we would give everyone a sneak preview at some of the new designs coming out of our shop this season.  It’s not too late to get your table before the holiday’s, so peruse our web site and take a look at some of these pictures, and help us design the perfect table for you made from reclaimed materials.

One of our favorites this season, is the maple and oak industrial flooring table tops.  These have been turning many heads and gaining more interest by our customers.  Here’s just a few samples of what we have produced.

Stainless steel screws enhance the rustic, scratched patina’d floor wood, beautifully planed and a special matte lacquer finish applied.  These tables are especially popular and can be made to size.  Here’s just a few samples:

As you can see, the patina is magnificent:

Also, now available, reclaimed oak from old barns.  Here’s a breakfast room table 40 in. wide:

Of course, we are still producing classic reclaimed antique white pine tables, many with extensions, like this six foot variety with 14 inch extensions and brown maple stain.

Here’s one of the most popular white pine tables available, our “urban farm” table with Brooklyn NY cast iron legs in provincial stain.

If you prefer a more elegant finished look, you can always opt for an American black walnut table.  Here are two recent custom samples produced in our shop:

Take a look at our web site and you will see the many varieties of tables we have available.  You can also order your own custom table made from reclaimed and live edge woods, just email us your specifications and we’ll provide a quote for you.

St. Patrick’s Day: Do the GREEN Thing!

Posted on by

Kilbennan_St._Benin's_Church_Window_St._Patrick_Detail_2010_09_16Historically speaking, St. Patrick’s Day is a day when Catholics, Anglicans, and Irish-Americans celebrate the man and the myth, Saint Patrick. Celebrated on March 17th, the day is meant to commemorate the life and the ministry of the Patron Saint of Ireland.

Modernly and commercially speaking, St. Patrick’s Day is a day when Americans celebrate their love for the Irish, and the color green. Cities throughout the country hold parades and costume and craft stores offer customers quirky t-shirts, anything featuring shamrocks, and lots and lots of leprechaun images.

Scranton, a city known for its Irish immigrant and Irish-American communities, isn’t just home to one of the most popular and well-attended St. Patrick’s Day parades, it is also home to Olde Good Things headquarters and main warehouse.

In order to get into the spirit with our fellow Scrantonians we are showcasing a few of the green items in our inventory.

Is your home in need of a bit of antique flare and a splash of color? Why don’t you  give this early 20th century carved wood frame love seat with plush lime green upholstery a try?

Here’s a gallery of other green seating if this isn’t your style…

 

We also have a great number of green tiles in our inventory. These tiles are perfect for remodeling projects in kitchens, bathrooms, or mudrooms.

Green French Empire style marble mantel with bronze sphinx details

 

If the seating or tiles aren’t your thing, you might consider this green French marble Empire style mantel. This mantel is medium-sized with bronze sphinxes flanking each side and a bronze center motif. This mantel is one of a kind and in excellent condition. This is one of several additions from Danny Alessandro & Edwin Jackson mantel company.

If you’d rather have an industrial perk with a green flare, take a look at these offerings:

 

The final item in our Olde Good Things “do the green thing” post is this set of hunter green shutter doors featuring heart cut-outs to add accent and simplistic beauty. These doors measure 52.25 in. H x 18.875 in. W x 1.375 in, and are in good condition.

Hunter green heart cut out doorsOlde Good Things is glad to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with you by offering you a 15% discount on green items on our web site on March 17th.  Just call or email and mention you saw this offering on the blog post.  If you’d like to see more of the green items in our inventory—from industrial lamps to furniture to mantel clocks—visit our warehouse or one of our locations.

From all of us at Olde Good Things, we wish you a happy, healthy, and “green” St. Patrick’s Day!
