Check it out - Travis put our table on the front page of his website. Wait for the third photo to load – that’s the table that’s in my house.
As soon as it’s a good season for porch-sitting again, we’re putting our white wicker furniture on Craigslist and having him make us a swing. Stickley never officially produced one, but he printed rough plans for one in the September 1905 issue of The Craftsman.
Travis and I talked about him reproducing one in cedar with a slatted seat (instead of the caning Stickley calls for), and we’re looking at a very reasonable $200 for the project. I don’t think we’ll have any trouble getting that for the wicker set next April or May, so the cost should be a wash. Then we just need a second rocker (matching or non-matching? It’s a tough decision) and a big oval rag rug to finish things off out there.
Oh, and a less terrible color of paint for the floor.
I’d go for a non-matching rocker. Compatible, but not matchy-matchy. Looks more like the grouping has “evolved” that way.
Excellent table – and that’s gonna be a great swing!
