Aha Perfectly Imperfect: The Kitchen Table

Light forest tabular array alongside mismatched chairs

To me a practiced tabular array is ane you lot tin read similar a practiced book. Unevenly worn too smoother inwards places too showing the chapters of a lifetimes use. Coffee rings, curry stains, ruddy vino splashes, crayon wax too pet scratches all ingrained inwards the forest reminding us of a fourth dimension when....

 To stimulate your even out you lot don't fifty-fifty convey to pass a lot of coin to discovery a decent one. They are oft on craiglist, ebay or constitute inwards thrift stores too inwards fact ours was a lucky discovery from an alley when nosotros were yet students. It was covered alongside a lifetime of other families memories (and a nasty nighttime forest stain) too then a unproblematic sanding downward refreshed too lightened the tabular array too gave us a blank sheet inwards which to commencement our ain memories. We already convey a groovy collection of marks too bashes including a wonderful bluish stained flake that volition e'er brand me smiling (from a pigment explosion that had my ii twelvemonth former too me inwards hysterics for a practiced xx mins).

For this argue I could never purchase a novel table, ane that had to live on kept inwards perfect status too religiously varnished/oiled/waxed. My tabular array has sentimental value (yes I am a Taurean) too I await frontward to many to a greater extent than meals sharing stories too laughter alongside friends too family, seeing my boy consummate his homework at it too fifty-fifty simply sitting at it having a loving cup of tea on my own.  It is likewise why it is e'er dressed alongside fresh flowers.... the kitchen tabular array is the pump of the abode too deserves a piffling TLC.
