HAPPY {JUNE GLOOM} MONDAY!


This always happens around this time of year in Southern California. The weather starts to feel more and more like summer around May, and just as everyone has started making it a daily habit of being at the beach and developed a great tan (or maybe a burn), suddenly boom, June gloom hits and the beach days are put on pause. This "June Gloom" is almost like a reminder from the weather to me; it reminds me of just how awesome the over cast, dreary days of winter are, and how much I am looking forward to that once Summer is over! 
(That was me being very, very sarcastic)  

I came across an awesome dinning room today, and I found it incredibly inspiring!  I think it would be so cool to use it in a project one day. Reminds me of a magical, kind of a misty forrest that I often dream of escaping to... And I thought it worked perfect with today's June gloom mood.

Belgian designer Charles Kaisin hosted a dinner during the art brussels fair entitled ‘The Fantasies of Charles’ which included a 10 foot (3 meter) solid oak and beach table. The horizontal surface is supported by several trees down the center of the piece which continue past the top of the work, the branches reaching the ceiling of the space. The trunks take the place of instead of evenly positioned legs in a seemingly random order. While some trees continued upwards, others grow through the surface into candle holders just past the surface of the work, giving the impression that the table top is floating between the foliage.


Maybe this will inspire you for your dinning room decor, or just be some interior design eye candy. Anyways, have a happy June gloom Monday!
