CORBEL: A new word to me! You know the old houses when people describe the “ginger bread” or the decorative support structures in kitchen islands/bars. That is a corbel. I found the idea from Sarah Richardson to use a corbel as a decorative detail in my dining room and I love it! I found mine on e-bay from a 1800’s house in Pennsylvania. All it needed was a little sanding and a fresh coat of paint and it looks great! Up close you can still see the details of how old it really is; a great piece of American history in my house!
