We got our new table! The color doesn't look NEARLY as bad as it did in the store, so we're thinking we won't have to sand it and re-stain it! Whew! It had looked SUPER yellowy when it was in the consignment shop, but we're thinking that must've been because of the fluorescent lighting. In our dining room, it looks like a normal wood color, which is all we wanted! The chairs are kind of a rust-ish red color, which we don't mind at all. It clashes like crazy with our rug, but we don't love that rug anyways (we got is SUPER cheap on Craigslist last year, when we needed a million rugs to protect the hardwoods in our rental house).
The chairs are so comfortable! And it's such a solid table and chairs set.
The table has cool drawers on one side of it! That's kinda what sold us (plus it was a great deal)
So, we may be getting a new rug sometime in our future, but not anytime soon! We are going to be super poor for awhile, because we've decided to go ahead and get air conditioning in our house, which includes duct work (because we have none), so it's going to be like a million dollars. I'm exaggerating by quite a lot (don't worry), but right now it FEELS like a million dollars. But, luckily we've already planned what we want to do for our honeymoon, and it's going to be quite affordable: We're going to take a nice roadtrip up to our favorite place in Maine (Boothbay Harbor). We sure do love it up there, and it's so peaceful and fun and relaxing. It's the perfect place for our honeymoon :)
We also unpacked a bit more (I feel like we'll be unpacking for a year...), and everyone in my Fantasy Football League will be happy to know that I found the Loser Trophy that I "won" last year. So, it is prominently displayed in our new house, just as the rules require... Haha :) It's on a wall by our coat closet, right when you open our front door. So... I'm sure everyone that comes over will think we're incredibly tacky and weird! Haha :) I hope I don't "win" it again next year!!
Our Loser Trophy (it's plastic, don't worry).
And here you can see how prominently displayed it is!
After all of that, we had a nice evening sitting in our screened patio room, and we enjoyed some wine! I'm not usually a fan of red wine, but the guy at the wine store suggested one I might like (it's semi-sweet), and I do enjoy it!! And I had it in my favorite wine glass... It's from a series of glasses that I have, and one says "Lit" and has a lightbulb, one says "Buzzed" and has a bumble bee, one says "Juiced" and has some fruit, and my favorite one says "Toasted" and has a little campfire. They make me chuckle (even moreso after I've had a few glasses of wine!).
Happy Monday, everyone!
