First Dinner in the New Kitchen

Today while John the Carpenter continued siding the garden "cottage", as we have begun calling it since Xena from WOW said that it was too grand to be called a shed, I scraped the finish off our kitchen table.

I was just finishing when John and his brother Adam came in out of the cold to move the table from the basement back to the kitchen. I had moved the trestle up last evening but there was no way that my Sweetie and I could carry the oak top which is 36" x 60" and over an inch thick.

As I began oiling it, the beauty of the oak was revealed after being under layers of polyurethane for decades. We can't believe how the oiled oak matches the stained pine flooring. Serendipitous.



Pretty amazing
