A good friend was over helping me make beds and unpack boxes. After a good bit of wrestling mattress pads onto my sons' bunk beds we ended up sitting and visiting for a brief time in our new large family room. As friends who have a love for design design often do, we ended up batting around ideas for furnishing the room.
Because the space is so large we will need a pair of sofas, back to back in the middle of the room and two separate seating areas on either side. In addition, to the two seating areas there is a large bay window off to the side which needs to be filled as well. I had thought a third smaller seating area, such as two chairs and a small table might be appropriate, but my friend had an even better idea: a game table. A place for games to be played and puzzles to be put together is perfect for our big family and makes our house more of a home. So now, I am in search of the perfect game table. On a limited budget I will be scouring consignment stores and flea markets to find the perfect little perch for our budding strategists!

The Plantation Shop in Atlanta (now called Tennille and Co) has great antique game tables. They used to sell them for $495-$595. Most of them have the barley twist legs.
Love the idea ofa Game Table. And of course the hunt is half the fun! How is Craislist in your area? I have found some great stuff - including a vintage drafting table on Craigslist up here!
