UPDATED DINING ROOM.

Well, Hi again I have still been working on my dining room, ya know my story it's never ending. Since adding a new table, new paint , chandy, I am still going, I have added some of my green cabbageware platters and plates for a shot of color, But like most of us out there (you know who you are). I really needed storage, But not any old kind, I want a real top of the line country french buffet.( real cheap) I had to wait about 2years but I did it, I finally found her
Shot of platters on wall.


 Here she is, she is gorgeous and so much storage , I will have her refinished to match the table. I want her just a little darker (walnut).

THE LOVE OF A TABLE..

THIS IS THE STORY OF MY HUNT FOR A KITCHEN TABLE , BECAUSE OF THE SIZE OF THE SPACE IT COULD NOT BE MORE THAN 54 INCHES. WELL I HAVE A FAMILY OF 5 AND MY KITCHEN SPACE CAN ONLY FIT A ROUND TABLE. SO I HAVE LOOKED FOR ABOUT A YEAR, NOT WANTING TO SPEND A LOT OF MONEY I MOSTLY KEPT TO YARD SALES AND CL,AND THEN ONE DAY IT HAPPENED ,AFTER ABOUT A YEAR THERE IT WAS THE ONE I 'VE WANTED FOR SO LONG, THE PROBLEM WAS SHE WAS ABOUT  3 HOURS DRIVE AWAY. I HAD SEEN THIS TABLE IN A LOCAL STORE FOR 1500.00, I WAS NOT GOING T0 SPEND THAT . I TOLD MY HUBBY ABOUT IT AND HE SAID LET'S MAKE A WEEKEND OUT OF IT ,SO WE WERE OFF NOT ONLY DID WE GET HER BUT WE HAD A GREAT TIME AS WELL.  
THIS IS THE TOP  KNOTTY PINE VERY RUSTIC.

THE BASE IS WROUGHT IRON
 HERE YOU CAN SEE THE FULL EFFECT.
