Trestle Table Inspiration for Your Home

Trestle tables are all the rage right now, but paying full retail for a brand new table might be more than your budget can handle.

If you have your heart set on a trestle table, but need to confine your search to craigslist and second-hand stores, it can seem a little disheartening!

Not everybody gets to inherit a perfectly preserved period bath like this one from Kohler's 1928 catalogue.
