Our New Table

If anyone has been to my house to eat you'll know that my old kitchen table had seen better days. We got it as a wedding presents from Spencer's parents. It served us well but in the end it just couldn't make it much longer. All of the original wooden chairs had broken but one. So I had been on the hunt for a new one.

We checked out some stores but didn't really see anything that we liked....and the one that I did like was much too expensive (darn you pottery barn) or they didn't fit all our criteria.

I wanted a table that could expand to seat more people and had matching chairs. I started to look on kijiji and I found one for a sweet deal and an even better price. It is a maple table with a leaf (not shown in picture) and 6 chairs complete with buffet and hutch. Hooray for some nicer stuff and more storage space. It took us three trips to get all the pieces to our new dinning set.

I have since begun to polish it and have added a nice linen table runner that is blue and we now eat with placemats in hopes of prolonging our tables life. What do you think? Anyone want to come over for dinner?

We quickly snached it up on Saturday afternoon and even better was the fact that someone saw our old table outside and asked if they could have it. It was still a solid table it just didn't look very nice anymore. So we didn't even have to haul the old one to our dumpster.
