My New Table

Yea! I finally got a new table. I have been looking since S. came along for a new table or for 6 chairs to match my grandmother's table. It only had 4. I searched Craigslist everyday for either chairs or a whole new ensemble. I found the perfect mission table with six chairs! It is beautiful. It has two leaves to extend it up to 7 feet long.

Of course, it had pristine white tweed seats which made for a beautiful contrast to the dark wood. I changed that immediately! I went and found some dark vinyl to cover the seats at least for the next few years. The table is not quite a striking anymore but the seats are safe from three small messy people for a while.

I had a bet going with a few friends for a Biggest Loser contest. We each threw $100 in the pot and whomever lost the largest percentage of body weight in 8 weeks got the pot. K. said that if I won, I could get a new table. I really wanted a table, had already been looking for awhile, and really wanted to get rid of the baby fat......and here we are. Yea!
