The Kitchen Table
several weeks ago, i finally got the nerve to paint my kitchen table and chairs and I LOVE IT! i have always loved my 6ft long honey pine farm table with six matching chairs and with my favorite black and white check plates sitting on top
but now, I LOVE IT even more!
i believe a kitchen can say something special about a home...it gives a sense of family and togetherness and can be a place for us to sit and talk about our day
it's inviting
i like my table to be cleared of "things" and set with dishes and a nice "something" in the center
i want my table to say come, and sit here
oh my word! now this is my kind of table...
just look at this beautiful farm table with what looks to be galvanized chairs...i DO want to sit here even if it's to enjoy the flowers and the view outside

this kitchen looks huge! and that pot rack is to die for...looks like you could do some taste testing while sitting in here
now not every kitchen needs to be a big one...in fact, when we first got married we rented a place with a nice big kitchen that i walked myself to death in
sometimes bigger is not always better

this small space looks to be an absolutely perfect spot for two!
add one more here...
check out these directors chairs in the Flower Patch Farmgirl's kitchen...what a fun idea and totally unexpected!
your table doesn't have to say "HOLIDAY" every day of the year...make it simple, make it pretty and make it inviting
i try to make it a point for our family to sit and eat together and although at times, it may be in a restaurant but we're still together
your kitchen table may be round with four chairs, a card table for two or enough to seat eight to ten people comfortably at Thanksgiving and Christmas
it may hold piles of papers, homework or mail from a week ago...
clear it off
and sit and eat together, you'll be glad you did!
