The old and new.

Thursday was a doozy. Our washer died and not 15 min later my very strong husband broke our dining room table, granted both were old and biding their time (washer and table, not the husband).

Not good timing as we are also planning a trip to Utah soon. As you can imagine funds are low. But we found a great deal on some refurbished washer dryer set a yr old in great condition. $375, can't beat that.

Obviously we need a table, however not being dirty and smelly take precedence.

So meanwhile our kids find mealtimes funner and more entertaining. If Heath or I put any pressure on it at all it topples. We've forgotten a few times.

So we're hoping to build this beautiful Farmhouse table from Knock Off Wood this coming week, maybe the next. If you can believe it lumber should only set us back 50 bucks, and $15 for the bench.

Now if I can only decide on the stain...

Love this. Isn't this room beautiful in white, and the coral... I couldn't pull it off.

Love it with these white chairs.

But I also love this dark stain. And I like the modern chairs with the more rustic table.

Also today we took Tyson to the Doctor. Strep throat again. Third time in the last month. Doc said she would have never known he was even sick if it weren't for those chronically inflamed tonsils. So it looks like they're coming out.
