shortly after we got married, dave's parents gave us their old kitchen table and chairs as they were upgrading. i have no idea how long his parents had this set but i know that we have now had it for 11 1/2 years. we started out with 6 chairs. by the time we moved into this house about 7 years ago we were down to 4 chairs. within the past year we threw out two more and brought up 2 folding chairs. and just the other month, after sitting in one of the original chairs, dave decided it was finally time to throw away the last 2 chairs. so for several months we've been eating and playing catan with 4 folding chairs. one evening we had 5 players so jessica had to bring her own chair.
we went out looking for tables that would actually fit our tiny eating area and came up empty handed. we need a smaller table with a leaf so if we need it, as tight a fit it might be, we have it. after looking online we found a set that was being clearanced out and we ended up getting a great deal on it.
so last thursday, while watching lost, we put together the table and 4 of the 8 chairs. we now have a fully functioning counter top, table and chairs! now all we need is to patch up that hole in the wall and put some tile up. oh, and probably get some new flooring at some point too.
the chairs are quite comfy. so if you're ever in the area, you should stop in for a meal, a game of catan, or just come over to sit in our brand new chairs.
it was time:
i was far to engrossed in lost to take pictures of us putting this all together:
