Thanks again to everyone!
And Cindy, normally, I hate waiting too. I am an incredibly impatient person. But, with this, it's such a relief to be done. I mean, there's nothing else I can possibly do so I'm enjoying being done.
Of course, I do predict that I will totally freak out on the plane on Friday because I won't have voicemail access for five hours.
Oh! And I completely forgot. I got a souvenir
pen.
Which, given the Lloyd Dobler reference I made in my Disney bio, is either a bad omen or just really freaking funny.

That's good, Kristen. I also think it's good that they noted your work was dark. I think it will make you stand out.

Ha! I choose funny.
I'm going with funny too.
In other news, not the greatest pictures ever but:
yoyo as a coffee table.
yoyo as a dining table.
I could also take pictures with the leaf in but that would be more work.
ETA: The table is, in fact, fully adjustable in height, so I could have any height in between too!
Gorgeous table-and the architectural lines of it look terrific with your rug!
It's hard to type, what with all my fingers crossed for you!
Kristen, that's a lovely table. How many will it sit as a dining table with the leaf in? It looks fantastic with the couch and rug. My brother is moving to the UK and will need new furniture, but will be in a small flat so that may be just the ticket for him.
EtA: Woo hoo on the interview too. They went for the funny with the pen, really!

It's clearly a sign from the Hollywood liberal cabal, Cusack being a well-known leftie pinko Comm symp.
(Sorry, just getting a little nostalgic for Tim's occasional rants since he doesn't visit much anymore.)

Thanks! The place is finally starting to look...finished. Which is something I'm not sure I know how to handle.

I'm not sure. I think you could squeeze 8 with the leaf in but it would probably be tight. I know you can do six comfortably.
It's made by Ligne Roset, which is a European company. They have several options on the yoyo table and also another table, which is similar, called the Crescendo. I won't lie, it was pricey. But I though it was worth the investment since it's really two pieces of furniture in one. Also, it might be cheaper when it doesn't need to be shipped across the Atlantic Ocean and then carted across the country.

Perfect! I'll send him the link (I think that either the Crescendo or the YoYo would work) His flat is tiny but he's a single guy who likes to entertain. He needs something that does double duty. These look just like what he needs plus they are really attractive. Thanks! (I'll warn him about the cost but I get the feeling that this move has netted him a lot of extra pay so it may be no biggie)
It's also very well made. I did find a cheaper version of the crescendo here in LA but, when I went to look at, it was awful. It was shaky and poorly made and the top was a low quality laminate that chipped easily.
I'm so excited that I have people over for dinner now. I just have the one room so guests have always had to balance plates on their laps or sit on the floor around the coffee table. But now I can have, like, a dinner party.
