New House Purchase: A Dining Table

We had a most productive weekend. Along with the work coming along at the house--hardwood floor installed, stairs stained, paint colours chosen, island and custom bookcase likely ready to be installed by the end of the week--I also got quite a bit of packing done, including a storage area that I had been dreading.

And we also found our table! I guess I should say bought our table, because we found this one over a year ago. Since then we've looked around to see if there was anything we liked better or if there was a better deal to be found. After all that we decided to go back to our first love, which is made of distressed mango wood with a great stud detail. At 112" x 44" (285cm x 110cm) tablecloths are going to be hard to come by but I'm happy with our purchase, which should ship over from France by mid-month.

Our chairs (black fabric, nailhead) are getting made and will take a little longer (July) while our new sectional is getting made here in the city and should be ready for delivery by June 13th. So slowly but surely things are coming together.

Once we move in I'll be on the look out for some chairs to go with the couch, plus a coffee table, and also two chairs in a different fabric for the head of the table to break things up. Maybe a wingback. I also need to decide once and for all if we're doing wallpaper in the powder room (narrowed it down to two contenders). Decisions, decisions! How's your week going?
