A Place to Eat

Now that we are unpacked and settled into the new place, we need a LOT of furniture.  There is no way we are going to be able to do this all at once so I am starting with the kitchen since it is almost done.  The one thing we desperately need is a new kitchen table.  The one we had broke (thank you Baby Girl) and I was not willing to buy a new one, knowing that we were moving.  A couple weeks ago I went to Comforts of Home, an Orange County based custom furniture store and came across this little floor model (sorry, iPhone quality).

Refurbished wood?  Check.  Bench seating on one side?  Check.  Can be made to fit 6 people?  Check.  This table was perfect.  Yes, we need to wait 4-6 weeks to get it, which means a few more meals at the dining room table (that thing has been used and abused by my kids), but it will be worth the wait.  I think it is going to look great in the new kitchen and being a family of 5, we will finally have a kitchen table we can ALL sit around comfortably.  To finish out the look, I ordered this rug (in the navy stripe) to sit underneath the table.

And with these two purchases, the kitchen will be finished!  Next stop, the family room!  But for right now I will be taking a little bit of a furniture break, compliments of my financial advisor (aka. hubby).
