I have been dreaming about dining tables for the past 9 months.
Since I've moved into my new home with it's large eat-in kitchen,
I have felt the calling for a long rectangle shape dining table.
Two weeks ago I found one that I liked at a price that made it more attractive.

This flat iron table had gone on sale at Restoration Hardware and I beelined
to our store in Toronto for the third time just to make sure
that I was really in love with it.

The color of the table top is wonderfully warm brown and gray and I love
how these colors enhance my old silver and bronze accessories. The flatiron legs
of the table give it substance without the heaviness or bulk.
This table makes my heart skip a little beat.

I love the way the table top is so distressed ... so much texture.
One of my friends warned me that a rough texture might catch someone's
silk blouse but my dinners are pretty casual and I don't suspect anyone
of my friends will be wearing silk to one of my dinners. Besides, I say,
table cloths and placemats usually are part of the table decor.

The best thing about this table are that the colors are exactly the colors of
the church next door which is the reason I bought this house in the first place.
It's my way of bringing a little bit of Parisian living to my home in Toronto.

Oh Meg! It is absolutely you! Good on you! It looks fabulous in the room! You are right, the colour definitely enhances all your beautiful pieces you've collected.
I love all the Eiffel towers!..definitely you! Enjoy many chats at that table, and yes, the wine that will accompany many of those chats!
I will have to invite everyone over for wine and a chat around my new table. Don't wear silk!!!
I will have to leave my silk scarves at home! Beautiful table; need to start looking for my new house in Tyler.
Hi Meg,
Your new table is really lovely! I am a fan (and frequent online purchaser) of Restoration Hardware and only wish they had a store to cater to the west of TO!
It seems just the right choice for your future dinners and conversation and I support the more casual wood on the table-top - silk blouses beware!
Enjoy your new purchase! NB
So nice to hear from all of you. What a fun get together it would be around tha table with all my great readers. We wouldn't have to worry about ruining the table since it is so distressed now and every little red wine stain would just be a lovely memory of a good time with friends and family.
Meg
