Bamboo Friday #7

Are y'all bored??

I could go on about bamboo - vintage, faux, painted, thrifted, etc. forever.

I just love it. 

I remember it from beach homes of my childhood.

I used to look around the rooms and think how I would decorate if it were my beach house and what color I would paint the faux bamboo headboards in the bedrooms.

See - this is not a new addiction/affliction.

Anyway, the star this week is my "new" coffee table. 
You may have seen it on my Instagram.

Big, almost square vintage-y goodness. 

Plus drawers for storage. 

There's been a little wear here and there,

 but that happens here anyway so we like things with a little "patina" to start with.

She replaced a perfectly good British Colonial Bamboo coffee table that I really liked.

But this one just works better - for propped feet and in a house with 2 big dogs. 

And I like room to spread out my finds on top of my coffee tables.

The last of the hydrangeas - papery and green.

Oyster shells because I am a Lowcountry girl and I love oyster shells. 

Oyster anything, actually.

Blue and white.

A brass crab. 

And it will probably look different next week. 

Big, old bamboo coffee tables are good for that!
