Okay, I am back again. This
will probably be short and sweet. But I had to tell y’all about our new kitchen
table. We sold ours almost 2 weeks ago. I hated to give that thing up, but we
toured the apartments that we will be living in and there was no way that it
would fit. So I have had my eye on a
table on craigslist for quite some time. Even offered the people a price for it
and they refused. It was beautiful and espresso in color. I REALLY wanted that
thing. Well I realized after it went off craigslist that I hadn’t even asked
Jeremy what he wanted in a table. I had just been obsessed with this particular
table. We have talked on and off about getting a “pub style” table(one that is
counter height if you aren’t familiar with them). We have wanted one for a long
time but I never thought it would look good in our kitchen. I don’t know why I
had that in my head. But anyways, the one I was obsessed with was not counter
height, but I was having trouble finding a “pub style” in our price range, so I
was going to settle. Poor Jeremy didn’t give up. He has had his eye on this
table and chair from Wal-Mart in Columbia for quite some time. To me that was a
big no-no, because how sturdy could it actually be?? Well I came off my high
horse and let Jeremy get it yesterday. It was below our budget and less than
what we sold our old one for. It’s actually solid wood too. Well Jeremy worked
his tail off for hours last night putting it together. And to be honest, I was
still a little sour about it. They had posted my other table again at a cheaper
price on craigslist. If you haven’t picked up on it yet, I REALLY REALLY wanted
that other table. But as I am typing this, I am sitting at our Cherry(that’s
not really a cherry color) “pub style” dinette set and I LOVE it. It’s awesome
and VERY sturdy. Even if I am still a little bummed about the other dinette
set, I am really happy with our new one.
Thanks to Jeremy for all the hard, aggravating work he has in the new
one!!!
Well, I was hoping for a picture of it!! :) We got our pub style cherry table at Sam's. No one can believe it when we tell them. And, it is SUPER heavy and sturdy! Even if it is made out of rubber wood!?!?!
