That's always the case Theresa!  The things I thought were junk when I was younger!

I just ended up finding one at a Columbus antique show today...I spent every dollar  of some birthday money I had been given...the lady was so sweet...quests what? It was Janis Hot...Two posts up!.. I am going to use it in my art studio...but I think it will visit other rooms!

Eclectically Vintage - Kelly · Answer

Sounds amazing @Janis hott and how cool that you got her table @Beth Bleas ! I used to live in Dublin OH!

Janis hott · Answer

I hated to let it go, and for a discount,! lol. But Beth was so sweet and was so into it,. Felt good to know it will be loved and appreciated. Nice meeting you Beth.

Beth Bleas · Answer

isnt it crazy the connections that we realize as we get older...I could be in another state and randomly run into someone I know!

Carla Dashnaw · Answer

I just found one in my attic!  It looks very similar to the one posted.  Inside there are 2 straight edges (metal), a scale ruler (all 72' long), a tool for cutting the paper and 2 brushes for smoothing the paper (?) after it is installed.  It has lovely patina and age on wood!  I am interested in selling.

Jenny · Answer

We found one FREE on the side of the road in Braintree, MA.  Had no idea what it was...all we knew was it had dovetailed joints and looked old.  It was folded up and it was raining out, so it was begging to be saved!  We got it home, unfolded it, saw the ruler - did some research, found out it was a Wallpaper table!  Husband sanded and gave it a protective oil rub...now it is our new table in the kitchen...and just ordered stools to go underneath.  Find of the century!!

Eclectically Vintage - Kelly · Answer

Now that is a find @Jenny !! Sounds perfect for the kitchen too

Jenny · Answer

So cute in the kitchen. It isn't our 'dining table', but will be used for fruit bowl, food canisters, bread basket and a general gathering spot for our small 1955 cape kitchen. LOVE IT!

Eclectically Vintage - Kelly · Answer

I'd love to see it @Jenny !

Jenny · Answer

Not my final decor for the table...but it works for now as we just moved it in today in place of a baker's rack that has to be over 12 years old. Time for a change!! As mentioned, getting 24' walnut stools to slide underneath and looking for artwork for the walls.

Beth Bleas · Answer

that is absolutely adorable!... and fits perfectly in your kitchen!... I will post an image of mine in my studio....but not for awhile!...we are ripping floors up and painting walls in our entire house..sigh...

I just acquired a folding wallpapering table. It's quite long and has metal legs that fold up into it. It folds in the middle lengthwise to make a box.

Bonnie-Lee · Answer

hello, I just won two of these in a auction last week. Thinking of turning the two of them into a dinning room set. Very cool project to get started on !

Bonnie-Lee · Answer

I'm curious what the top of your table is made of ? I'm not sure if mine have been changed over time because the top seems very thin almost like plywood. One table gas a thinner top then the other though. I know everything is is forsure original though.

Donna Soares Burt · Answer

My grandpa was a paper hanger/painter and had one of these that is huge, someplace in the family. I remember it well. He passed away in 1953.

Mary Heery · Answer

Never saw one this aged  nice effect.

Mike Jarrett · Answer

I have one just like it.  Let me know if you're interested.  horsemanmike@gmail.com

Jennifer Sousa-Walsh · Answer

I just found one yesterday that looks similar to yours and is now in my possession. The person was using it as an artist table so it has different colored paints on the table surface. I think it makes it look extra cool. I love this table, but have no place to put it in my small house. So, now I need to figure out what to price it at to sell it.
