A Busy Mommy: Crappy Kitchen Table...

Crappy Kitchen Table...

Well, it's not really the table that is bad...it's actually the chairs. And they're horrible. I'm an almost 30 year old woman who has Patio chairs around her kitchen table. Can You Imagine???

Well, I don't need to, cause it's real. When it comes down to it, a new Dining Table hasn't been a priority for me... not until now anyway. We've always lived out lives paycheck to paycheck, so a lot of our furniture has been hand me down...(mostly from my Mom, who has a beautiful home) Our bed is not in great shape, our couch I bought for $100, and my table has patio chairs around it.

Well, I've noticed a big change in my attitude towards my home since Wil was born, and I WANT it to be pretty, inviting, comfy... I want everything to have a home, a place for everything. And if it doesn't, then it needs to go...I don't have room for clutter. But my biggest want is a new Kitchen Table. (Well, besides a new camera - that's right up there too!)

If I was single, or didn't have small children, I would pick one of those Bistro Sets, the kind with the tall stools that go around it. Oh, how I wish... But my next household purchase will be a real Kitchen Table with matching chairs, and I can't wait! Though I think I may have to.

I'll be putting up with these horrible patio chairs for a little while longer, and hopefully I'll be able to put away enough in savings to buy a table that will last me and my family a lifetime.

Do you have a Fred Meyer where you live? They have some quality tables at very reasonable prices...

We all have lived with hand-me-downs. A home isn't the furniture in it, it's the love! Remember that! Have a great weekend!

I wouldn't sweat it. All my furnature is hand-me-downs too. The only piece I bought with my own money is a nice painted , used dresser I bought for $20 from Kijiji.
I got my kitchen table and matching 6 chairs for free on kijiji. Maybe you can check there too !

ps. My sister in law has the most horrible chairs. Some broken , missing the backs or seat cushioning , and yes some lawn chairs..and she is over 30 ! I'm just glad mine aren't as bad as hers , lol.
