We've been a 5 person family for 1 year and 363 days now. In that time we have always had a kitchen table that sat FOUR. Granted LG didn't use a chair for her first 6 months and while in London none of us used our chairs. So it's actually only been an entire full year that we've stolen a chair from our dining set and squeezed it around our 4 top round table. To make matters worse, we're often blessed enough to have my mom eat with us, so of course we move to the 6 foot by 3 foot dining table complete with SIX comfy chairs that aren't so close you are knocking elbows...wrong, we drag ANOTHER dining chair into the eat in kitchen area and shuffle around until we fit!
UNTIL TODAY!
Starting today and thanks to Louise's generosity and the Great Houses Switch aka Too Much Furniture Event of 2010...(drum roll please) we now have a table that seats SIX in our eat in kitchen!
L had the honor of eating the first meal on the new set up. (Please disregard the hideous hanging lamp. Say it with me, "we're just renting, we're just renting")
She also had the honor of christening the set with it's 1st stain- just 13 minutes after it was set up. So proud of her...it's a new 'how long till a new piece of furniture gets a stain' record for our family. Oh and it was "milk"!
Happy Times with the Old Table
