Grand Table

Continuing on the theme from last week, let's talk about the most talked about piece in our house. Our dining room table. Seriously, there is rarely anyone who comes over who does not mention how much they love it. Brian's parents had the table in their house, and gave it to us when we were living in our first loft together 15 years ago. It's traveled to every place we've ever lived in. Let's just put it this way, we won't live anywhere this table won't fit. We painted it black, but over the years it's rubbed away and now has a fantastic finish. It can fit 10 people around it for meals and other celebrations. The best part of this table is that Brian's dad made it. Can you believe it? He made it out of doors, and it is amazing. The boys have built train tracks under and through the table. We've made forts. C likes to hide under it, especially when he's getting into trouble. And Brian just looked at me the other day and said "You know what? I did exactly the same thing when I was a kid."
