Thanks to everybody who participated in the Strange Closets tabletop contest. Great turnout, and I like something about each and every entry I received. Thankfully, I don’t have to pick a winner, because that’s your job. So here’s how it works: pick your favorite entry and leave a comment telling me which one you chose. See? Easy. The winner will receive a copy of Tereasa Surratt’s Country Living book A Very Modest Cottage. I’ll announce the winner this Friday no later than Happy Hour. (Please do not choose #1 (top). That’s my tabletop, and I’m ineligible). And do what you have to do folks. There are no rules when there’s a book on the line. Canvas the neighborhoods; tell your family and friends. And whatever you do, vote.

Love, Love, Love, #16 Maria’s “Hate-Rack” tabletop ensemble.
I had a few faves but I’ll settle on #5 Geyer. It was very hard to choose the *best* one!
love love love Contest #5, Geyer!!
#5 GEYER! His elegant style is hands down the cat’s meow.
#13 Jack is my fav! I love the asymmetric grouping of spiritual and natural elements!
Love love love #5 Geyer!
I’ve always thought of Geyer as the bee’s knees, but cat’s meow works too. Thanks William.
#5 Geyer! Beautiful!
I love Maria’s table top, eclectic and fun love the little buddha!
love love love!!! Kimberly, contestant 9 & 10. Beautiful design, natural elements, and humor.
Guyer’s is by far the best!
Number 7! Sausage dog love!
I vote for number seven Emily, if thats legal of course!
Number 5 all the way!!!!!!
#5.
Doris just e-mailed me saying she likes #9 (followed by #17). Thanks Doris.
#5 has slightly edged out the dual virgin marys.
#6, Mary’s and nature … interesting mix.
number 7
Contestant #5! From the dark walls and the table vignette to the artwork.. it is all FAB!
#7! ftw
i vote for the best tabletop picture#7
#6 with traditional religious art among nature–like the old “shrines”
And my vote goes to #17, Kathee. What she is doing with that rendering of the photograph is truly amazing.
Oops! I made a technical error, I meant #14, Kathee. (Apologies to the real #17, Maria.) That’ll teach me to vote after midnight, local time. Please accept my amended vote and delete the one above it, I’m really not voting twice, OK Tate?!
Maria’s hat stand says it all — function and art with a sense of whimsy and intellect. Go Maria!
My favorites are #5(geyer), #16(Maria) and #17 (Maria)
Voting is now closed. Thanks to everybody who took the time to vote. The results are being tabulated and will be announced shortly.
Number 5, Geyer
It’s classic. Serene.
Great color of blue for the wall. The matching lamps act as a frame for the vinette.
The two bird pictures, with their wide white mats, are perfect (can’t tell if they’re photos, prints, what…?) They draw our eye immediately to the scene. Books and tulips are always wonderful.
The table top is elegant. It makes me think that the rest of this room, the other rooms in the house, and the owners themselves, are sophisticated!
I also enjoyed looking at Numbers 16 and 17!
Fun project.
Thanks.
Frederick
Bravo! Is Geyer a Ms. or Mr.?
Is it too late to submit a photo for the contest?? thanks!!
just saw it was too late, next time, hopefully..
Geyer. Nice composition with appropriate color and scale. It’s well balanced for those of us that like symmetry.
