Look at those legs - Farm Tables

The curvier - the better when it comes to the legs of farm tables. Last time, I talked about the diversity of the tulip table (here) and how Saarinen wanted to get rid of the mess of the leg. Here - these legs are anything but a mess. Like the tulip table they are diverse and work in a variety of decor's. The more banged up the farm table is - the better they are. They work well with just about any kind of seating and it's a great way to add character and warmth to your space.

Here are some beautiful examples of how people have used farm tables in their homes:

Scandinavian
