Since we've lived at Linderhof for 21 years, metamorphosis don't happen very often. The house, for the most part, (as well as the garden) is where we want it. If we do something, it is often small -- perhaps a new bedspread or new towels for the bathroom.
But this weekend, we did a bigger metamorphosis . . . .

It was nice, but . . . it was square and took up a bit too much space we thought.
I yearned for a refractory table in oak(that could seat six and perhaps be extended to seat eight) and if there were some rush seated chairs to go along with, so much the better.
But, we happened on an Estate Sale this weekend and for $165 . . .



It's definitely a keeper although it is not the much wanted oak one. I am very happy with it and am pleased that husband Jim was the one that thought it would be a better table in this space.

Very nice table. I look forward to seeing many beautiful tablescapes on it soon!
That is a beautiful table, very classic..
I like the old one too!
And not being a party girl, BARRY stays closed up most of the time, LOL!
But he is handy to keep the beverage area OUT of my kitchen!
this is gorgeous!!!
You got a beautiful table for a great price.
Blessings,

You got a deal! I love the deails on the side. It may not be the oak you really want, but I think the dark wood is beautiful!
I love what you did, You Go Girl !
Hugs, Kammy

Very nice table. I really liked the old one as well. Looking forward to seeing it more.

What a gorgeous table and chairs! Love the wood grain on the top..so exciting!
Oh, the wood itself is just beautiful! (I know everyone wants to paint things. But I like to see just wood sometimes myself!) And this one is a true beauty!

Martha,
Your new table is a beauty and I like it against your black chairs. I hope you are having a nice summer.
Cathy
Beautiful table and I love your chairs as well!
Thanks for stopping by and visiting me today.
It looks as though it belongs, and for more than that you really can't ask. I'm imagining all the wonderful dinners that will be served at that table, and I'm sure the conversation is as good as the cuisine!
The new table certainly seems to fit the space better, and the oval shape seems to leave more room for the chairs to move in and out. So company may be more comfortable and linger longer! And what a nice room to relax in with guests. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful table! It looks perfect for the space, too! You are really going to love have so much seating space...great find!
Great price for such a pretty table and I really like the detail around the ridge. Looks much nicer then my Pottery Barn DR set for sure:)

Sam
Nice table! I hope you found a good spot for the other cute table!
Katherine
Congratulations on your new acquisition! It's very beautiful and offers much greater flexibility than the one it replaced (although I also liked the other one). The price was fantastic, and it looks great in the space!
I love your new table and the chairs are perfect, so vintage. My Grandma had the same chairs, I only wish we still had them.
I always enjoy your posts.
Take care and have a wonderful day,
Elizabeth
Your breakfast table, with the swervy edge, is my favorite!!
Great find!
