Efrantz: The Parsons Table

 

Howdy Tea Time With Tess readers! 

I'm so happy to stop by while Tess is enjoying her Spanish fiesta. I think I speak for all of us when I say, I am officially jealous. 

For those of you unfamiliar with my little blog, efrantz is a culmination of interior design and fashion inspirations according to me. Lately, I've been dreaming of a classic parsons table and all the possibilities this item holds. I'm sure you've seen these sleek, simple desks (and occasional console tables) that serve as a blank canvas for your space.

 

What does this mean for you? Purchasing a parsons table is a great decision, and it comes complete with about a billion of styling possibilities. With springtime approaching, I'm absolutely loving bright, girly accessories. 

These items scream feminine chic style. Like?

1) Vase of Fresh Flowers

2) A metallic Kate's Paperie 2011 Planner 

3) A stylish Kate Spade paperweight

4) Framed Anthropologie prints for above or beside the desk

5) An eye-catching Jonathan Adler tray to collect misc. items 

6) Freshly sharpened pencils

7) Sunburst mirrors are another great above-the-desk option 

When your style changes, just switch the flowers out for a more seasonal-appropriate choice, and adjust your color palate. What's the best place to purchase a parsons? Hands down, visit West Elm. Its the best price and quality I've seen, but always do your research before you make a final decision. You're hopefully going to have this item for quite some time. 

Good luck, everyone! Hopefully this has inspired you to create your own parsons inspired vignette at home. I will be! 

Thanks so much for having me, Tess :)
