Our New Table

Earlier this year, we finally replaced our first table! Our old table was tight with six people around it, and we were ready to sit Joshua up to the table in a booster seat. In fact, we never had room on the old table for the food, just our dishes. For the last several years we have served our food from the counter, buffet-style. Whenever we had company over for dinner, we would have to set up a second table to fit everyone. So it was definitely time for a new and bigger table!

We bought a nearly-new table from a couple who had bought it straight from the Amish in Ohio. It is incredibly solid and well built. It can also accommodate up to four leaves so it can seat 6-12 people. So even though it only came with four chairs (hence the mismatched chair situation), we went for it. Now there are so many colors of wood going on in our house that matching doesn't really matter at this point. :-)
