Or so I have been told multiple times by my darling fiancee. We have been going crazy searching for a very specific table – 42 inches – ROUND {Yes, it needs to be in caps – don’t ask why} – countertop height.
There are lots of reasons why we need to rush out and get this big piece of furniture “RIGHT NOW” (remember when you could make things flash?). We have had a very small group of people over at this point but there have been some key examples of why we need to get a table soon (And craft project are not one of them).
Exhibit A: When the mothers came up for their much ballyhooed dress shopping excursion I cooked dinner for them. Pretty normal so far, but when we went to find seating my poor mother ended up sitting on the floor because she didn’t want to eat on the couch! (Not exactly fine dining, although the braised short ribs did get good reviews)
Exhibit B: Our friends Allison and Mike came over for a weekday get together. Having had many dinners with my cousin Bill I have been indoctrinated into the school of thought that “Warm plates are GOOD.” However, handing unsuspecting guests hot plates (not warm – hot) and then asking them to place those in their lap to eat is not Good Eats.
So the search continues for the perfect table. If anyone has any pointers we would love to take a look!
************ Update *****************
We found the table and stools! Crate and Barrel 4th floor outlet in Cambridge was our salvation. $400 less than retail price for the perfect table.
This looks awesome! It was worth the wait. I like the flowers a lot, too! Enjoy!
