As a lover of all things old, rusty and covered in dust, I could no longer fight the urge to purchase an industrial cart. I first met this cart on a visit to David Ellison's farm table workshop in Pawtucket, RI. Gretchen was interested in purchasing a table so Susie and I joined her and went to his shop to check things out. The shop was filled mostly with hand crafted tables, however, there were a few other treasures just sitting in his shop. I spotted an old industrial cart, and inquired about whether it was for sale. He sort of laughed at me and said, "That? yeah, sure, I have a bunch of them. They're from a mining company." I did not end up purchasing the cart that day. This was about five months ago. Yesterday, the piece came to mind again so I emailed David. He said there was one left, so I jumped at the chance and purchased it. I won't pick it up until August or September when I move again, but I can't wait to incorporate it into my growing furniture collection. I haven't figured out just yet what I will do with it. So far, my only thought is a coffee table. If I had two, I could make an interesting day bed platform. Any other suggestions are welcome. I sure have gotten some good deals in Rhode Island...
{Restoration Hardware piece: MUCH more substantial. I wouldn't want to stub my toe on that. Also, they need a new prop stylist. }
{Ace Hotel suite in Palm Springs. Yes please.}
Over and out from the assembly line.
