Table Rock is a distinct peak in upstate South Carolina, and dare I say the most interesting mountain in the state. While it is stunning when view from below, a challenging but manageable trail climbs 2,200 feet in elevation for those who want to savor the views. Either way you prefer to enjoy Table Rock, I think this is a place everyone in the southeast should view at some point in their lifetimes.
Don't know what to call this one. I just loved the setting.
HBW!
P.S. - thanks to Vicktor for the title.

The Confederation Table is a golden-hued oak and basswood library or refectory table constructed circa 1837 to 1864 in a Victorian Gothic Revival style.
The Saskatchewan Legislative Building was built between 1908 and 1912 in the Beaux Arts style to a design by Edward and William Sutherland Maxwell of Montreal. The Maxwells also supervised construction of the building by the Montreal company P. Lyall & Sons, who later built the Centre Block of the federal Parliament Building in Ottawa after the 1866 Parliament Building was destroyed by fire in 1916. Piles began to be drilled for the foundations during the autumn of 1908 and in 1909 the Governor General of Canada, the Earl Grey, laid the cornerstone. In 1912, Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught, by then the serving governor general, inaugurated the building.

The design contemplates expansion of the building by the addition of wings extending south from the east and west ends and coming together to form a courtyard. The plans originally called for the exterior of the building to be red brick but after construction had begun and red bricks were already on the site, Premier Walter Scott decided that Manitoba Tyndall stone would give the building greater grandeur and the plans were adjusted with the substitution increasing the building cost by $50,000. The total cost of construction came to $1.75 million by the time of its opening in October 1912, ten months after the assembly had begun meeting in the yet-uncompleted building.
Of historical significance, the table that was used during the meeting of the Fathers of Confederation in Quebec City in 1864 resides in the building's library, albeit with six feet of it removed. Lieutenant-Governor Edgar Dewdney of the North-West Territories brought the table to Regina, which was the capital of the territory at the time. It was used in the offices of the Indian commissioner for Manitoba and the North-West Territories until 1896. Six feet of the table length was removed from the middle so that it could fit within the limited confines of the Prince Edward Building, the temporary home of the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan while the Saskatchewan Legislative Building was under construction.

I was at a friend's wedding last Saturday and this was one of the table decorations.
I've had a little play with it in Topaz Adjust for Sliders Sunday.

This stylish coffee table consists out of three bricks and an non-official building technique. the legs, two bucket handles, are put inside the edges of the table leaf, a 2 by 4 flat plate. This building technique isn't very stable because the handles will fall out the edge easily, but it looks very nice.
This was a teak dining set we found. It was obviously Scandinavian inspired but I think it may have been made in Canada because the table had Robertson screws. These chairs are unbelievable and in mint condition. I suspect maybe reupholstered and never sat in again. NOTE: As someone below recently pointed out these chairs were designed by the Danish designer Kai Kristiansen.
The little details on the table are definitely Scandinavian. The two enamel bowls are Cathrinholm in Norway and the "Spider" candleholder is designed by Danish designer, Jens Quistgaard for Dansk in the mid 1950s.
