tin type.

san francisco magazine (thanks, free president's club magazines!) featured this living room by steven volpe and i have been drooling over john dickinson's galvanized tin console (and other assorted tables) ever since (i certainly hope they don't rust). i know i've ruined the surprise, telling you it's metal (cheap metal, at that) before you figured it out, but isn't it lovely?
