Kathy, craigslist. Seriously.

Really?...Hmmmm...No, must resist for now! I can't justify buying anything else this summer.

I'll be getting my mom's dining room table at some point hopefully very far in the future. That's because I was always the one getting on my knees and dusting the legs, like my mom did when she was a kid and her mom did before her. It's the table in the 2nd-4th pictures here, only without the fluting and with one less leaf.

I like the idea of having my maternal great-grandma's table; I've got my paternal great-grandma's pearls and crystal lamp already.

But, in the meantime, I really want to trade out this crappy dinette table for something good.

I'll have to look at craigslist to see what's available--thanks!

My doctor put some acid in the bed to kill the part that grows in. I tried to not watch the procedure.

Health-ma to Scrappy's DH.

I would like this week to end NOW

Not in the rapture sense though--that's for tomorrow.

We got our Heywood-Wakefield dining room table, chairs, sideboard and hutch for $1,000 on CL. We probably couldn't get the table for that at an antique store.

Ouch sumi!!

if for some reason you feel like screaming, "My eyes! My eyes!" but don't feel motivated enough.

Hilarious, tommyrot.

(And FTR, I did not click on the link. Not with that warning.)

I would like this week to end NOW

Week can't end before the SPN finale. Done bought whiskey.

Fair enough.

Maybe I will buy pie on the way home.

Oooh, this is a nice set--Thomsonville table wtih six chairs, only $200 on CL.

PIE!

And PUDDING!

Oh, god, this call is gibberish. I hate being on the hook for gibberish. I hope to be the ultimate simplifying force, just because I can't understand the intricacies.

I love the first table you linked to, Kathy, that's a gorgeous piece. The CL one is very nice, too. But I'm tickled and intrigued with the leaf storage in the first one.

When I put H's collections in the display section of our breakfront, I had no place handy to show off my hodgepodge of family pieces and magpie-acquired bits of china, all of which I do actually use. We found on CL an Ikea Billy bookcase the seller had already added glass doors and sleek brushed chrome knobs to. H did a bit of carpentry to mask the raw edges of the back, and it slotted into place like it was built for the space. (Please to not be laughing at my harvest gold wall oven. First of all, it works, flawlessly, second of all, *wall.oven*, which was on my I'll-never-actually-get wishlist)
