Nothing says farmhouse like a pedestal table — no matter the size. A side table composed of rich-toned wood with a traditional pedestal base looks more like a timeworn piece than a brand new piece of furniture. This modern twist on the look from Perigold updates the style in all the right ways to create a nice accent piece in a living room and beyond.
