New table

We have been looking for a new table since we finished remodeling our kitchen.
Over three years ago.
We finally found one.
I love it. It feels really grown up.
I was SO over the oak table we bought when the kids were little. It was so thrashed.
We found this one at World Market.
It's makin' me happy today.

    Ooooh, that's pretty, Cathy!
    It took Mike and I two years to find a lamp in our first apartment. But we were looking for the perfect lamp and didn't want to settle :0)

    Beautiful !! I love it.

    Lorraine and I went davenport/chair looking this weekend when we were up there. Now studying and contemplating fabric samples etc....

    I had to come find this old post, because we're looking for a new table & chairs and I remember loving yours! We have one of those oak pedestal ones (14 years old and thrashed), and with the leaf in it, it's so unstable my two-year-old can hang on the edge and tip it over! Not good.

    I can't find your exact set on the World Market site. Do you think it was discontinued?

    I've been looking on CL for a set, but I'm not finding anything I really like, and it seems like the prices of the ones I do like are more than what we would pay new at World Market! I think I need to find one that's already "distressed" since the look is bound to be enhanced around here. ;)

    Melissa - I was going to send you an email and for some reason I've lost your email address... hope you'll check back to see my reply!

    I think they did discontinue our set... I was just at the store the other day and didn't see it there. But they have SO many great sets - you should be able to find something similar. I still REALLY love mine. It's SO solid.

    I love distressed too, for the same reason. The only thing I really tried to stay away from from any table with any sort of groove in the tabletop. (Like planks with grooves between them.) I can't imagine getting food out of those skinny little grooves. What a nightmare!

    I don't have your email anymore either! Mine's my last name with an 's' on the end at gmail. Send me a message so that I have yours again!

    I hear you about the grooves. I really love the look of the planked Verona, but many of the reviewers talked about stuff getting in the grooves. Most of them indicated it was worth having the table even though they had to vacuum it every day (!), but I know what it would end up looking like here. Blech!

    I never get up there since I live in the valley, but I need to make a trip soon. There's one set that's on sale right now for $599, which probably means it's a close-out.

Are you ready for this?

How did it get to be Wednesday? Seriously. There aren't enough hours in the day - even when you're up at 2:00 am. And no - I didn't get up at 2:00 this morning. I slept all the way until 5:00! Anywho - I decided I needed something new to blog. Something to shake you all out of your 'thoughts from the deep recesses' stupor. Something to get your blood pumping and your fingers tingling. Something to inspire long and meaningful comments. From you. My beloved readers. It's a new weekly Thoughts From the Deep Recesses feature. It's "Getting to Know you Wednesday" Now this could either be lots of fun, or it could just totally flop, and I could go to bed crying because my blog readers are a bunch of takers who only come here to read and never interact. Like a piece of fresh fruit, you squeeze the juice out of my hard-written and well thought out posts and then you toss them aside, wandering on to the next blog with a simple click of your mouse. You read ...

It came out of the faucet that way.

It's been months since I've had a "Getting to Know You Wednesday." Life's been a little crazy. So today, when life is a little bit calm and I've got the least chaotic week I've had for ages, I thought I'd jump back in. So today, if you leave me a comment telling me your most favorite-ist movie line ever, I'll enter you in a drawing for your very own copy of Josh Groban's new Christmas CD - Noel . It's a good one, folks. Classic holiday music from such a wonderful vocalist... you'll like it, I promise. I just want one movie line. Not your three favorite... not a paragraph. Just one line. The one you find yourself repeating. The one that makes you laugh every time. Your very favorite movie line of all time. And if you're the first person to name the movie my title is from, you'll get an extra entry in the drawing. Now, let's hear it.

Good morning, peeps. It's Friday. There's frost outside this morning. *FROST!* This week has been ridiculously chilly. I'm having mixed feelings about blogging lately. Mostly because I feel like all I've been doing is whine about being tired. Or overwhelmed. And because comments are lacking. And because I can't seem to think about anything to write about except Tejan. And because some of the thoughts I'm having are too private for the blog - or too repetitive. Or too unformed to turn into actual words you all could understand. So I'm struggling a bit. And yet, I'm committed to documenting the process I'm in. So I'll keep writing when the words come. And when they don't, like this morning, when I looked at that intimidating blinking cursor and my mind went blank and I started to break out in a cold sweat and began by talking about the weather... well, then, I'll just gracefully (or not so gracefully) back out of the room... tail between m...
