Dillard delivered the table to us last week......... It came last Wednesday, almost a week ago.
It was originally a dining room table with two leaves............ My grandfather gave it to my mother when she married...... Many years later she wanted a coffee table instead so Papa cut a piece out of the center post and lowered it for her..........
Then my sister wanted it for a dining table so Papa put the piece back in and it went to my sisters. Years passed and it came back to Mama who wanted a coffee table again. Papa took the piece out and and lowered it once more.................... They moved several times after that and the center section was lost. Then I got it and I have used it for many years as a coffee table....
But now I wanted it in the breakfast nook.......... A new post was put in and here it is.......
I have been hard at work in the garage but I did find time to work on the border for my At Home Round Robin........ I am saving the hourglass border for later and made this HST border instead.......
I love the story behind your table! How nice to still have it in such good condition. Your SAHR is looking great. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas.

ReplyDeleteWhat a nice story about the table. You should write it on paper for the future owner(s).
