I'm so excited - I just bought a dining room table for the new house. It's saal wood, reclaimed from old Indian railroad tie, restored, and pieced together to create a unique mosaic top. It's green (not in color, but in eco-friendly terms, hehe) and super modern, and will create a cool focal point for our dining room, which is really the center of our house. I want to pair it with leather parsons chairs, tons of acrylic candlesticks (not glass since we have a curious kid), a unique rug with lots of colors, and the painting that I'm working on... I think it's going to turn out to be a really cool room.
Re the rug, Sheridan's brother is deployed right now in Afghanistan (keep him in your prayers, please) and is looking into having a custom rug weaved for us. We haven't quite figured out the logistics of it, but if we can make it work, we're going to have a really cool, custom room. We'll see how that turns out.
Whatcha think of the table?
Meanwhile, we also bought a refrigerator. YAY!! We bought the biggest, baddest fridge we could find - we figured it would be a great investment for the family. If P keeps eating like he has been... we're gonna need all the cubic footage possible to store tons of food to keep him fed as a kid/teenager. Whew.
Two major items down, about 100 to go! :)
Love, Mer

That table is awesome! It's modern and rustic at the same time...very warm. Love the candlesticks too! Can't wait to see the whole house come together...
Llllllllllove the table. Where's it from?
Thanks, girls. Glad you like the table - I LOVE LOVE it! I found it at CB2, which is Crate and Barrel's super modern, more affordable line. I recommend looking at their stuff - it rocks. www.cb2.com (And BTW, I decided to pair it with cream leather chairs instead of chocolate. I can't wait to see it all come together, too!)
