William Sheppee Tuscan Console Table

Our best purchase for the front room so far has been a William Sheppee Tuscan Console Table. Made of hardwood Acacia, this thing weighs a tonne! 

Purchased from Frank Bowen Auctions in Leytonstone, this sideboard was a bargain. This was the first auction we had been to and we hadn't done any research. Neil liked the look of the table, but thought that it would be out of our price range due to it being such a solid piece of furniture. We paid £65, and once we got home we found it online for $1,400. 


We purchased it with the intention of going in the dining room, but found that it fit perfectly in the alcove in the front room. 






My plan for the front room had been light grey walls, green sofa & accessories with white furniture. This is as far from what I had pictured as possible!
