Zach and I have been living in a home of hand-me-down furniture for our entire marriage. Don't get me wrong--we are very thankful for all of it, as the alternative would have been sitting/eating/sleeping on the floor for the last five years. But still, you get to a point where you would really like to have some things that you picked out yourself. Having moved into our own home, we are definitely at that point.
Tonight we finally ordered a new dining room table, which we have been talking about for months. We've had our eyes on one from Crate & Barrel for quite a while, but after taping out the dimensions on our dining room floor we just weren't sure it was wide enough. But while we were in Los Angeles we took advantage of the opportunity to see it in person one more time and we decided that it was the right table for us. (What a blessing--Zach and I have very similar taste in furniture.) It is on backorder and probably won't arrive until late November, so we have to be patient for just a little longer, but by Christmas (and hopefully Thanksgiving) we will be eating at our beautiful new table!
If you want to see the table, go to crateandbarrel.com and search "Kipling." We bought the extension dining table and matching chairs. Hopefully in the future we'll be able to afford the hutch as well.
