You should have seen us last night, cruising down the highway in a big truck packed to the gills, with blankets and rope flapping in the breeze to tie down our cargo.  We were quite a sight!

Look what we brought home with us:

Isn’t it gorgeous?!?

Remember that table that made an appearance last week in my video for Thanksgiving . . .

. . . and Christmas?

Well, we have now parted ways with that $100 table that I bought from the Scratch ‘n Dent store when I was in law school 6 years ago (and the chairs have made their way back into the breakfast room) – and now we have this beautiful mahogany table and chairs, and we’ll even have room for 6 people when we put in the leaf!  Oh goodness, I’m so excited!

The table and chairs belonged to my uncle’s mother, and he and my aunt are so lovely and offered to let us use it.  The word on the street is that the table was crafted back in the 1920s – how cool is that?

Now all I need to do is pick out some fabric so that I can reupholster these seat cushions . . .

Got any suggestions on fabric?

P.S.  There’s a holiday decor blog party going on over at The DIY Show Off – head on over there to get some serious inspiration!  I added my video about transitioning your decor from Thanksgiving to Christmas, and I can’t wait to see what everybody else has to say!
