Dining Table

We got our new dining table!

The saying that you find something when you're not looking for it was so true in this case. The weekend before last we went to a few furniture stores looking for a small table for Kevin's study. We decided to stop into a consignment shop to see if they had anything. While there, we were talking to the owner and mentioned that we were also looking for a dining table. She said that a man had come in recently wanting to bring his table there and she had photos of it.

We looked at the photos and both thought that it looked like what we were looking for. We talked about it more on the way home and called the woman back to find out more about it (dimensions, price). She gave us the owner's phone number and we contacted him to find out more about it. We made arrangements to go and see it on Sunday and liked it even more! It was just what we wanted - classic style, seats 8, and with cushioned seats. Even better than that it looks well made, with cherry wood and designs inlaid in the table and patterns carved on the chairs. It is gorgeous. We decided then and there that we wanted it, and made a deal with the owner.

Arrangements were made for delivery and we got the table on Saturday. Just like the day we moved into this house, we just beat the rain! On the drive back to the house (with the delivery truck following) there was lightning and lots of wind, but the table and chairs were safely in the house before it started to rain.

We plan to have lots of dinners and game nights on this table!
