Photo Hunters: Creative



Trying to come up with a photo to describe the theme 'Creative' probably requires more creativity than the topic itself. LOL, I think I just wrote a tongue twister! Anyway, here is my object of creativity! Ta da.......


Just a dining table, you say? Read on.



Note the fine wood and handiwork.



Note the intricate brass elephant designs



What's a chain doing in the middle of a table?

LOL, to steal a line from the movie 'Transformers', there's more than meets the eye. This is no ordinary table.

This table actually started off life as a door in India.

There are these antique shops in Dubai which collect these doors, place a glass top, add four legs to it and voila! a cool dining table. This cool piece of furniture now resides in my friend's house in Penang which I thought perfectly epitomizes the creativity of the designers who came up with the idea, and also reflects the creativity of the people who designed the beautiful door.

Here's a top down view of the 'door table'. Interesting, huh!

Sorry, thought it would be fun to do this the long-winded way.

u got the creativity in the subject choice, but wouldn't it be more successful with a creative approach in capturing it? or is it becuz u took this when u were in penang, so now no chance d for angular shots? if so, then its still a good picture. just would've been better if the story could be told by the image as a whole too.

That's a creative idea using a door as a table - wonder if it reflects brightly when it is lit

What an amazing piece of furniture. One of my best buds is an artist from Israel and one of his specialties is making pieces of furniture out of found items.
Thanks for visiting my site.

Definitely creative table. . . and beautiful too.

When i was growing up, Dad brought home a new table too! It was a door that was varnished --flat with no design other than the wood pattern and 6 ft. long. He added legs to it and it became our breakfast nook table. he made benches that stored stuff on either side and that is the only table i remember growing up.

So using a door for a table is nothing new to me.

Thanks for visiting my entry.

Thanks for all your comments. It's quite a stroke of luck for me to get this photo for this week. But I'm absolutely clueless about the new theme 'Funky'. Ha ha.
