Pretty new table!!!

Sorry for being away so long but life has been crazy.  We had my brother in law living with us for a bit and we all know how interesting that can be.  Anyway back to the pretty!  We had such a sad old hand-me-down table that I got for free from my boss several years ago.


Does everyone remember what the table we had before looked like from my dining room post?











It's so small and dated and there was a bum leg on the table and all the chairs kept coming apart at the bottoms and I was always afraid the next person to sit down would fall onto the floor with white wood pieces flying in the air.


So of course I went to Pinterest to see what I wanted to have in our newly painted dining room and here is what my inspiration pin was.

Love the farmhouse table look and the color of the dark wood is amazing!  James was going to build me one to look very similar to this one for Christmas but time got away from us and we ended up just buying one.  So here is our new dining set!!!


New table and chairs in time for Christmas! Love the X in the chairs!




I LOVE it!! The color is right, the size is right, the X on the chairs is awesome, and the cats approve! It also makes me love the paint color and the curtains I have now even more!


Since it was around Christmas time I wanted to set the table with my new dishes I bought with my Christmas money.  It was so pretty!!!  Take a look


Pretty Christmas place setting!




I am so in love.  Plus it has a fold out leaf right in the table!  I can't wait to have a dinner party and put it to use! Anyone want to come over?  Ha how about another look of it!

And another!

And see what I mean about the curtains!  I'm still not convinced they will stay but I'll keep them a little longer than before.


Ok well again, I'm sorry about the long time away but things have settled down a bit now and I should have some more time on my hands.


Did anyone else get anything exciting over the holiday?
