There has been a new labour of love in our household this week. Last weekend, we welcomed a very heavy, very old, and very well loved new dining table into our kitchen.
After much sanding (we're talking hours and hours and hours), the natural grain of the wood was so pretty that we decided we'd only add a clear layer on top to protect the wood.
And while there was nothing wrong with our old table, this new one is bigger and I was definitely ready for a change.
To our old table: thank you for your service over the past 10 years, and all the best at your new house (thank you gumtree for helping me sell it so quickly!).
To our new table: Welcome to our home. We hope you like it here. We look forward to sharing many meals with you, and we hope you like your new chairs (well, new to us, but purchased as 'seconds' from here). We think you go together very nicely :)
silly boy...
bah, how come this table never looked this nice when we had it! x
