We Metamorefixed a dining room today, and it got me thinking about what I love in a dining table:  a glass top.
There’s something so wonderfully delicate about dining on glass. I love the plink of the china and crystal, and seeing everyone’s knees and feet all gathered together around the base. It’s just so intimate and classy, all at once. Here’s a table I particularly love, from Nest Modern:

Barone table from Nest Modern

With that 1/2″ thick glass top and steel x-frame, isn’t it divine? I double-dare someone to cover it with a tablecloth! And the price? If you have to ask…seriously, though, it may not be too bad. All dining tables are 20% off at Nest Modern through Oct 16. www.nestmodern.com

Now about their logo:
Am I the only one who once thought the name of this store was “North East Street?”  I must’ve been under that delusion for a year. And I found out the truth from a client, no less. What an embarrassing moment! She was talking about “that contemporary furniture store on 6th” and I said, “oh, you mean North East Street?” and she said, “no, Nest.” The awkward silence that followed while I slowly figured it out! Yikes! Everyone knows the hip ID is supposed to know how to pronounce the name of the store! At least I know now. Interior design can really keep you humble.
