New Orleans Dining Room Table Made From Distressed Wood And Wrought Iron
This dining room table is constructed from distressed painted wood that was once the outside of an old home in the St. Roch neighborhood of New Orleans. The home was abandoned after it flooded during Hurricane Katrina, but luckily has since been remodeled for a new family. The old exterior boards have been repurposed into a new dining room table. The table's wrought iron legs are welded from the original balcony railing of a Greek Revival style home in the historic Garden District. This 1860s home fell into disrepair and its ornate victorian style railings were removed. The rusted brown patina of these rails pair beautifully with it's distressed painted blue top. Don't like the blue painted table top? Don't worry, the paint can be removed or I have a variety of other pieces with different colors. This custom made table has already sold and each one is made to order. I have a very limited supply of wrought iron so if interested, please inquire soon. Tables can be made to any size and dimension. The table shown measures 55" wide x 55" deep x 30" high. Interested? Feel free to message me with any questions!

My Name is Alex
I'm a South Louisiana native from a family whose roots stretch throughout the Gulf Coast. I now live in New Orleans, a city like none other. Since Hurricane Katrina, I have grown to appreciate more than ever its history, charm and beauty. Happily, I can share my passion for this place in the form of my furniture, made of salvaged and recycled wood from New Orleans and the region. My goal and mission: create uniquely designed, one-of-a-kind pieces fashioned from rare materials stamped with beautiful patina that only time can create.
I hand pick each and every piece I use. Majority of the doors I use experienced some sort of water or other damage from Katrina. I clean, strip, sand a re-buff the wood. I stain them a natural color which brings out their scarring and antiqued finish. I then find pieces of decorated tin, patterned metal used to decorate local ceilings in the Victorian and Edwardian eras. I carefully cut, size and place them within the panels of the restored doors. The end result are beautifully reclaimed wooden headboards, tables and other pieces that carry the scars of their existence, but also the beauty and story from another time.
