New Table

One of the things that I don't like about my new house is the small size of our breakfast room. The house we were in before had a huge breakfast room where our table was able to have 1 of it's 2 leaves in it at all times. It sat 8-10 people and was so nice to have company over for dinner! When we moved in and put our table (that J and I both love) in its place we both said, it doesn't work here. So after the chairs were banged into the walls over and over leaving marks, we finally went to get a new one that would properly fit.

Here is our old table:

(I'm happy to report it has a new home at Carianne's house)

And here is the new one:
I'm loving it! When I first saw it, I thought of Desiree's blog Decor de Provence .
She shows lots of shots of French, Gustavian and Belgian decor with this light colored stained wood. I wasn't sure it would go with my kitchen, but as soon as we got it in place (and it wasn't easy to get it in the house) I was in Love!

I found the table at The Dump (it's a Houston thing). I feel like I always have good luck there.

So now, I need to figure out what kind of chairs to get. I want some smaller ones. Give me your thoughts on that ladies.
