recipe for a zooey table

you must begin with a very gray day. the kind of day that whispers in your ear impish discouragements such as: this day is not for you. nothing creative will come of it. it is damp and dreary and you mine as well throw on your pajamas and watch tv.

sitting in your workspace should be a leggy little pine table. knotty in all the right ways. she should be as bland and boring as the day is bleak, but you must believe in her potential with all your soggy heart.

then, and this part is key, you must find a lovely old forgotten friend tucked away in some secret spot. this friend can be anything from a piece of inspirational fabric, to an old raggedy sweater made out of the perfect mustard tweed.




next, whisk in a healthy portion of a jd salinger novel. raise high the roof beam carpenters, catcher in the rye, or franny and zooey are all acceptable options.




finally, if you find just the right knobs (they must be whimsical and feminine and a tidge odd) you may luck out with none other than a serendipitous zooey table.




or, if you'd prefer, this one can be yours for $79
