New Table

Our new dining room table arrived just after Thanksgiving.  After years of talking about getting a farm table, we finally found a furniture maker in Sperryville, VA to build one for us.  It’s a maple “Irish immigrant” table with a bench and Mennonite-made chairs.  We ordered the table distressed (i.e., beat up) for an antique look and to help cover the inevitable “distressing” that Henry and Vivian will soon inflict.  We love the table (Elise says it is one of the best purchases we have ever made) and look forward to using it for years to come.  Below is a picture of the family enjoying supper around the new table.
