Do you remember this antique telephone table, also known as a 'Gossip Bench'? It's designed with a little seat and it has a built-in table with a shelf underneath. You would put the telephone on the top table and phone books underneath...how convenient is that? There were also 6 pieces of ABC gum stuck under there.....I left those for authenticity...totally kidding...or am I? Well it doesn't look like this any more. I bounced back and forth between restaining it or painting it. I had to think about if I were seeing it for the first time, what I would want it to look like. I think I made the right decision....for my taste anyhow. So on with the show.

~After~
New paint, lightly distressed.
I recovered it. The jungle print was killing me.
I tried to find some fabric that I thought matched the character of the piece.
~Hope you like it!~
You can see it in person at the Vintage Market in Scottsdale, AZ on Sept 17th!

I love it! However, when I gossip, it's usually in person... so a real gossip table would be two chairs, close together, with a cup holder for milkshakes. Can you make one of those? ;) Nice job!
Love that fabric! Fun color choice!
love the blue and looks like vintage fabric for the seat looks as if it belonged in the 60 or 70 era
