A Place to Eat!!

This past Sunday we went to Bed Bath & Beyond to buy the final things on our registry.  They offered 20% off not only our registry items, but anything else in the store or online that we wanted.  To top it off they also offered free shipping!

We had a list of things that we wanted, including a rug cleaner which will come in handy with pets over the years.  On that list was a small pub table with stools that I thought would be perfect for our small dining area.  For the last year, we had a big oval table there, but took it down this summer to make the space feel more open.  Plus, we didn't really use it to eat on - more for piling things when we came in the door.  We had to order it from another store because it was on clearance, but with no shipping charge it was definitely worth it.

They told us it would take about a week to get to us, but it came today!!  It was exciting, but a little crazy at the same time because I hadn't made space for it quite yet.  I was also in a rush because I wanted to have it up by the time Blake got home from work.  I had about 2 hours to clean, assemble, and store some things but I got it done!!  And now we can actually eat in our dining room!! Hooray!

Here's the finished product...
Yeah, I know I need candles for the candlesticks, but other than that it's a great table for the two of us.  We just have to convince the cats that it's not an extension of their cat tree and then we'll be all set!
