I really like my new hutch. It was so hard to decide on a final design...I thought about it for over 2 yrs! This is Amish made and will last forever, so I wanted something that felt heirloomish. However, I wanted it to be huge and this style of hutch is usually much smaller. I love the stain color, but not the smell, down fall of local made furniture. What a privilege to design it my self and have one fella build it! I am thankful and blessed.
Yes, it true, hubby's birthday IS this weekend...however, the hutch and table are not his birthday gifts. However, we WILL have our first meal together at that table on his birthday...does that count???
That's a fifth leg you see; the table is very heavy! It was built by my Amish friend. Plus it has 4 leaves that extend it to over 100 inches. Those are my old chairs. Hubby was in Florida when I made all my final choices and I wanted him to be involved in choosing new chairs. What style chair do y'all think would look nice?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I enjoyed my first cup of tea at my new table along with a pumpkin spice muffin. They are a favorite Fall treat in my home. I add those tiny little chocolate bits! I'm looking forward to all the future muffin crumbs and family memories around this table. Let's pray the movers don't destory it on the way to Florida!
