Perfect day for alfresco dining

Maybe not, but if it weren't raining and 30ish, we could eat our first dinner outside.

Our kitchen table is finally here!

10 weeks later, our kitchen table has finally arrived. We searched high and low for a small antique square or rectangular quartersawn oak table to match the antique chairs we just had recovered, to no avail. We finally caved and decided to have one custom made. It took forever, but just like the cabinets, it was worth the wait. The table is perfect for the space and the graining in the wood is gorgeous. The table is 36"x48", which is the size we will normally keep it at, but it has two leaves also and can expand to 6' long so we can seat 6 with the two extra chairs we have stashed upstairs. Here is a good shot that shows the table top with the antique chairs. The stain color perfectly matches!



And here are a couple shots of the table in the space.







The other exciting thing that happened yesterday is that our pantry doors were finally installed. When we finally pass final electrical, we can hang the pendant light in the pantry again.



Baby steps... The house continues to come together. We are looking to our first dinner tonight in the kitchen where we can enjoy a beautiful sunset.
