The [Table] Search is Over
I’ve been on a search for over a year. You see, our dining table just wasn’t cutting it in the space department. It was totally fine for our family’s purposes. But we love to have friends over for meals and found ourselves frequently seating people in other areas of our home. Not a huge problem…

valentine’s day thoughts + reads
