Skirted Tables
I grew up in a home, in the 90’s, sporting some serious fluffy skirted tables…. (Mom, I don’t hold it against you, they were popular!) I have just had an aversion to them ever since. But lately I am swooning over these tailored versions. So much so, I think I might just have one in the works very soon.

The tie details on this linen skirted console are such a great detail.

I remember tearing this out of my Domino magazine years ago for my inspiration file.

What I love about these classic skirted tables is that you can transform a ho hum piece of furniture into this chic statement with just a little fabric. Plus you can hide just about anything underneath!!

Are you into skirted tables?
I just (yesterday) built a little makeup vanity for my bedroom out of scrap pallet wood. It's pretty rough looking. This is a FABULOUS idea! Thanks for planting that seed!
Always happy to plant seeds!
K,
I did this at Christmas time for a seasonal change with the console table in my dining room and I couldn't believe how childproof it was. My curious little toddler didn't disturb my inside contents at all.
The table skirt has certainly evolved from our moms' ruffly days into a sleeker, more modern look.
Thanks for sharing,
Laura
This will be a toddler fix for sure! She might try to use it as a fort though…
What beautiful examples you have shared!! Megan
I am! I made a tailored round one for my bedroom. I've just started following you, not sure how I found you, but I sure do enjoy your posts. Loved the headboard!! You did a great job!
There is a wonderful product made my tablevogue, (www.tablevogue.com)that transforms a 6' folding table into something that is truly design worthy. Glue on decorative ribbon and you are ready to go. It is a must for people who entertain.
Thanks Kristin for including my table skirt in your round up. I was reading your post, scrolling along, thinking how beautiful each image was (you have posted a lot of inspirational images that I haven't seen before) and was surprised when I ran across mine.
They really a terrific way to update a piece of furniture and a great way to add a little extra storage space to a room. Good luck, I know yours will be fabulous!
