Future Table Details

I am so excited to be getting our table made.  Finally!

We commissioned it through Royal Oak Metal Craft.  They are also building us three chairs and a bench to match.  The set is costing us a small fortune (okay, not really, if you look at the cost of high end dining room sets) and it will weigh a ton, making it very difficult to move.  Who cares, right?  It will look fabulous.  Just don't try to scoot your chair up to the table.

I hope the chairs aren't that heavy.

It will all be under way as soon as we talk with the wood guy.

That's the table from restoration hardware.  The bench will simply be a miniaturized version (no casters, of course).  The chairs will have metal frames and backs (with simple oval cut outs in diminishing size) and wooden seats.  All the wood will be laid in to protect the edges, as it's very old.

This table is a big deal.  It means so many things:

-more cooking

-actually inviting people over (maybe even meeting our neighbors)

-less square footage wasted in our apartment

-a housewarming party (can you call it that when you've lived in a place for 9 months?)

Oh, the relief I will feel.

Is there one thing in your home that you feel if you accomplished would make your life immensely better?

P.S. Happy Father's Day!
