{perfect little entry table}

Lucky for us, most of the furniture we already owned (and trucked 2000 miles across the country) translated really well into our new place.  The one thing that didn't work was a our previous entry way table which was just too wide for our entryway here.  Even though our entry here has an enormous coat closet, I still felt the area needed a little table to catch all the odds and ends.  I thought for sure I would have found one at the flea markets or thrift stores here, but tables that are less than 11 inches wide seem to be hard to come by. 

I was surprised to find this great table at World Market since I don't think I have ever looked at furniture there in a serious way.  Maybe I had just missed it on past trips there, but World Market has seriously stepped it up in their furniture department.  I found myself wanting to figure out a space for multiple things there; like this amazing industrial console table or this chic laptop stand.  The entry table I did take home works perfectly alongside the coat hooks as you walk through our front door.  The slim profile is exactly what I needed for this space and the simple design of the table is sure to lend itself well in whatever future spaces we find ourselves in.
