While I was on vacation we went shopping for a dining room table, as our dining room has been empty since we moved in four months ago. We came back with two display cabinets and a buffet, but no table.
This weekend we drove out to Cornwall to visit an antiques place, determined to find ourselves a table. I wasn’t too optimistic as our requirements are very specific but as it turned out they had almost exactly what we’ve been looking for. The tabletops were not as thick as I like but the finish was perfect. I decided on my favourite almost immediately but Jen spent a lot longer choosing between three possibilities before finally picking the one I picked (although she’s still not 100% certain).
So we finally have a dining room table. It’s a rustic harvest table made from reclaimed wood with shaker style legs and extensions which allow it to seat up to 14 people (although 14 would be squished).
Now all we need are some chairs…
