Now i know that the daddy and son shot is super cute and you just want to go "awwwww..." but look past the cuteness of daddy reading the paper to his first born and focus on the TABLE!!! ohh my little table how i have thought about you after leaving new years parties and brunches. everytime i took a cup cake off of you or a glass of wine, i thought "oh table you are so pretty, your owners must love you as much as i do, how i wish i had a table like you." Then one day my wonderful table owner friend posted a picture of her "new kitchen table" with the comment "still looking for new chairs"..... I was beside myself, i couldn't comment fast enough. "what happened to the old table..?" hoping my desperation didn't come through too obviously. All i could think was what if that the table had been thrown in the trash or even worse..... left on the side of the road with an "i'm free. Take me" sign on it. (if i can't have it, i would rather it go in the trash. is that bad?) i am a furniture junkie. (try explaining it to my 800 sqft apartment, "all of these pieces will fit perfectly when i have a house." Anyway she responded saying that "the old table is in the garage awaiting garbage day". i took a knee. "no!!! i want it!!" and the excitement began.. then she said "there are four chairs too we just need to find new ones then you can have it all!!!" i was so happy i called gary right away, he didn't care, his one comment was..."uhhh where are you going to put that?" i hadn't thought about that...."uuuuuuhhhhhh i'll use it as a desk!" it's true i always wanted an old table to use as a desk, it would give me more room more elbow space. Anyway, today is the day!! i get to go pick up my new table i will post a pic so you can see what it looks like as a desk in my little office. keep in mind that it might take a few days to organize the room to be picture worthy....
bye for now,
tina
