Upsizing

A Bigger Family = Bigger Stuff... right?

Meet the newest member of our family; the dining room table.

We've been in need of a larger table for quite some time, as ours only seats 6 and there will soon be 8 members of our family. It's always a bit of a struggle when we have guests to find seating for everyone.

So yesterday, Forrest found an amazing deal on this solid oak dining table. Without the leaves, it comfortably seats 8 (add two more chairs than what is pictured below) and is 1 foot wider across than our last table.

Insert all of the leaves, and it seats about 16. Do I see grandkids and in-laws in our future?
This table will serve us well for years to come. We had our first dinner at it last night, and it was wonderful! We had so much room for the dishes, and everyone could spread out. I see many-a-Thanksgiving feasts being served on this beast.

  2. That is a great table. My dad has one similar and it does get great use when the holidays come. How nice it is to have everyone fit.
