IN THE APRIL ISSUE of Elle Decor I spotted this charming little occasional table, tweaked by an artist friend of the homeowner. I don’t know exactly what’s going on there and can’t tell you how to replicate it (hey, this ain’t Martha Stewart Living!), but it could be an inspiration for something to do with a patio or porch table this spring or summer, even though we’re not on the coast of Portugal. You can pick up the magazine at a newsstand, and you can see the story online here.
