I've been gathering tangible supplies along with inspirational images for my own interpretation of Page's and Shane's cloth-covered work table. It looks like rich chocolate-brown linen will be my choice for the desktop, but the video description of B & J's alternate brights is accurate; if you're interested in making a waterproof craft table for a child's room, there are fun school-bus-yellows and Popsicle-oranges.

While browsing hardware stores and my go-to place, Horton Brasses, for nailheads, I came across nice reproduction pieces for trunks. Interesting only because last year, when I posted some of Guinevere's trunks covered in antique linen, a few friends contemplated doing thier own DIY version with a flea market find. So, I thought I'd follow up, albeit a year and a half later, with this Horton link.

that trunk is amazing!
I actually scored a couple of these trunks off the sidewalk!!! They are in need of a makeover so thanks for the link! ;)
That's great Angie! Good luck with the project.
Simone, happy you like it too.
Ah, and a brown canvas backdrop to your masthead today, how witty.
Emile, you noticed !
I can't wait to see your work table once it's complete. Love your choice of chocolate brown linen; I think you will never tire of it!
Oh, such a wonderful idea! Might borrow this one. Are you going to use brass corners on your worktable?
Thanks J!
Elsbeth -- I think just brass tacks all around, like in the video but I did contemplate corners :)
