New Addition to the Family

What? It's not what you think. Here at The Craftsman B&B in Pacific City, Oregon, we are all about Craftsman style. Traditional, original, reproductions and modern interpretations of the style, ideas of the period and movement away from the frilly Victorian design. Our goal was to have our guests open the door to 1921, the year this house was built. While this piece wasn't around in 1921, it very well could have been. This is the latest member to the family, a Stickley Dining Room table.

Here is the pie sliced cherry veneer top. It also has 2 leaves so we can seat the whole house.

This table is not an original piece from the era, but an updated take. Made by Stickley, loved by us. We got a phone call from my human parents, the original Mike and Laura. They had a baby 2 years ago and as he is getting more mobile, they were afraid of him crashing his toys into the table and scratching, denting, you know, boy stuff. So they asked us if we wanted to have it in our house. We jumped at the idea and they drove it down just in time for the May Party. That was a good thing, as we had a lot of help getting it into the house and putting it back together. During the party the tables shared the Dining Room, the last event for the old table for years to come.
We have made our versions of Stickley furniture, purchased some too. Mike made the chairs, based on period details, fumed white oak and finished with a danish oil. Next coat will get a darker tint to blend better with the new table.

So for those of you that like our old table, original to the house and the finish on the top of the pedestal worn off from 80 years of feet rubbing on them, don't worry it's still part of the family, just not in the center of the Dinning Room.

So come and stay with us at the B&B to see our new addition. You may find me laying at the base of a table leg, there is an image, in the brushed nickle feet, of a very good looking dog.
