My Beautiful Dining Room Table



Well, our beautiful dining room table of course. Our apartment has been graced by the workmanship of an extraordinarily talented woodworker. His name is Norman Johnson and he is Damien's amazing Grandpa. He has given us a gift that will be cherished by our family for the rest of our lives, and likely longer than that too. This is a big thank you to him and Ozzie (D's Grandma), who worked so hard and so carefully to give us a table made out of equal parts Red Oak, love, and fine skill. Thank you also to our parents who both splurged and bought us gorgeous matching chairs, which were stained by Norm to go with the table. Lastly, we now have a beautiful set of place mats & napkins to compliment our stunning dining room (the perfect x-mas present, thank you n&o). Here's to many meals remembering your kindness and elegant talent- we are honored. P.S. And of course thank you David and Tully for driving all the way to Virginia to deliver the goods! What a pleasure to have you here...

That is so beautiful! What a great reason for a trip to VA for Tully. Did you get to have your first meal on it together??

Hi Maryjo!
So nice to hear from you! How are you guys down in GA? I think you're getting some snow tonight. We have already had many wonderful meals on our new table. We were saying that we officially feel like real adults now that we have a dining room table!
