The Table Search Continues

I’ve worked on my zone work and gotten the house in shape for the holiday happenings around here. I have not decided on the table yet but I’m zooming in on a decision before long. I’m thinking I’d love to have a table chairs hutch and buffet so it’s back to pounding the pavement and looking at more catalogues. I’ve decided to wait and do this for one of my art dates. Without grand kids in tow so I do not have to worry about them jumping from one new couch to another and I’m not kidding about this! Or swinging from the chandeliers kidding here, but I now realize why I was overwhelmed by this decision. I’d find a table with out chairs at one antique store, no price yet on it so I’m waiting for a call. I found one or a dinette set I liked in the right color of wood but the chairs were not comfortable, so I had to keep looking, another one awesome but over powering and was huge and for a formal dinning room, ours is not.

A hutch is on my list as well; would like a hutch one with a mirrored back to reflect more light because of the Northern exposure. I found one or two and a couple buffets Now I’m hoping to find these pieces in a wood we like. Hubby likes the oak, I’ve given up on pine and will be looking at oak and have seen some older pieced at the antique shops. This has been an interesting adventure. One of the plusses of a new set is that they will deliver it free! That is a consideration around here.
