I've had at least five dining tables in the past ten years.
This is partly because I've moved six times in the past five years (and you've been with me for each one). What was purchased for one area only fits in one location.
This is what leaves me torn. I need a new table - again. I want to invest and get something I can keep from this day forward, but seeing as we rent, who knows what will happen?
Our last movers trashed our teak bedroom set, smashed most of my BC ceramics, broke my alabaster table, and gouged the top of my stump table with a six-inch crevasse.
What do I do? Of all those tables, our card table was the most versatile, and the size was right for each dining room. I should look for one of those old wooden ones.
If I had 'my own' dining area, it would go something like this:
Florence Knoll's oak or walnut-topped table.
