Hello sweet hearts
Hope beating beautifully on the rhythm of life !
Remember we had a dining table . Hubby have get it made on order eight years back almost. We loved how elegant it looked. It was like dream come true to have our own dinning table. I would love to enjoy family meals together whenever kids visited home specially .But when torrential rain occurred two years back hubby decided to move the dining table in veranda due to trembling roof. It had rained for three months almost in our city . We got our all the roofs trembled during rains except our bedroom and portion of our veranda attached to it. Later when the rains passed hubby found it appropriate to keep the table in study room (third room where kids study). I objected on the decision because dinning table would help us a lot when we have guests. It seems easy to clean the dinning table instead of all the vast area where children eat and make mess .Hubby said let's keep it on side for while as i see table is huge and takes half of the room which restricts our movement as well. I found the reason genuine so table was put there for two years. The second thing i missed meanwhile was writing posts while sitting on dinning chair which keeps my posture straight and it naturally help my brain work properly.
Last week hubby brought few carpenters who examined the table if it can cut down from sides and turn into oval shape . The deal settled with one man who mentioned that plate (upper sheet) of the table can be broken during process of separation of it's legs. But it did not happen luckily and table was ready within one day .Wanted to share my joy with you as it looks nicer than before and fits in smaller part of the room which is satisfactory. I am happy i found the table back and writing this post while sitting on it's chair .It is feeling of ease :)
Thanks for kind comments on previous post dear friends !
So lovely! I adore the look and I hope you all have some wonderful dinners and much more at the dining table. Its things like this that make a house a home. I hope you have a wonderful May.
ReplyDeleteheartfelt thanks for such precious best wishes dear Ellie !
Deletemay God make them true for all of us as family gatherings are priceless for people like me who have nothing but family to feel happy :)
i agree that such basic things comfort to homely environment and an important friendly gesture to relationships :)
best wishes to you and family!
It looks like a great job done! I look forward to posts from there.
ReplyDeletethanks dear Marie
Deleteit makes difference for me to write from here actually ,first because the chair offers a straight posture which is my favorite and second it is close to window and i like the feel it adds to my laptop timing
Good carpenter! It looks beautiful.
ReplyDeletethank goodness dear Christine
DeleteWhat a lovely table!
ReplyDeletethanks dear Kathy ,glad you found it nice
DeleteThey did a beautiful job!
ReplyDeletethe carpenter was honest and hardworking dear Debra ,otherwise two work can do it in two days at least that is what hubby has observed because they want to stay at job longer for the fee gain
DeleteIt is a lovely table. It makes the room look cozy.
ReplyDeletedear Emma when our house was ready to decorate after competition of painting more than ten years back i think . we planned to save and buy some furniture for our big house slowly .dining table was my idea and i am happy hubby loved it at once .it was rewarding to see how fine it looked when it was arrived at home .such pieces are rarely made here hubby says because of it's neatness .much work has rough finishing that makes things look unpleasant to eyes
DeleteIt is a lovely table, the carpenter did an excellent job!
ReplyDeleteamong few workmen he seemed reasonable to hubby as job needed two men but he did this all by himself within a quarter day and the fee was just fine .i saw first time hubby paying without bargaining over the fee
DeleteThat is wonderful! When I find someone who is reliable and reasonable, I like to ask for their help again with another project. Happy and Blessed day to you dear Baili :)
DeleteWhat a beautiful solution to a problem! Now you can fully enjoy it again.
ReplyDeletelovely to hear from you precious friend Jenny!
Deleteas they say there is time for everything , hubby 's office building was demolished and rebuilt in last two years . Now when they have shifted back into old place there are lots of jobs being done there by many workmen .Observing all this hubby got an idea to renovate the table :)
I like that the table was altered to make things better for you. I wouldn't like that much rain.
ReplyDeleteoh yes Red i missed sitting on it and writing my posts from the table . long term yoga has made it hard for me to take any other lazy posture actually but sit straight
DeleteThat does look really wonderful that table, such a good idea to make is small when it was so large. It is always good in my thinking to all sit at a table to eat and not eat off your lap.
ReplyDeletei think it tuned out beautiful dear Margaret
ReplyDeleteit was rectangular before and we concerned that what if the upper plate breaks down while cutting the wood or separating the plate from leg frame of the table as many carpenters shared same concerned and few asked to keep it in mind already .
we are happy that though separation two hours almost but nothing was damaged ,the carpenter had to but new smaller frame to make it fit with oval shape .i liked the oval shape more .the area of the table has reduced yet it is easy for six people to eat on it .
It's a beautiful table and I'm glad you were able to have it modified for more enjoyment. Have a wonderful rest of your week.
ReplyDeleteWe recently renovated the living room.
ReplyDeleteAnd now is going to be our suite and Catarina's room.
Step by step.
They did a lovely job, it looks great.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Hello Baili,
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful table, they did a wonderful job. Take care, have a wonderful weekend.
It's a beautiful table. I like the color of your walls too!
ReplyDeleteThanks dear Sandi
DeletePainting house was inevitable after three months long rain actually because earlier paint was melted away with content showers.
We chose medium purple this time to avoid shiny reflection of sunshine during lengthy summers. It was suggested by younger son.
Glad you liked it too friend ❤
Wow that's amazing they were able to cut it down to oval. Looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBom trabalho. A mesa ficou bonita. Que faça muitas reuniões de famÃlia à volta dela.
ReplyDeleteUma boa semana.
Um beijo
That decision to make the table an oval really worked out well, Baili, so what a good idea your husband had to do this. It looks really nice in the space and yes, so elegant as well, my friend.
ReplyDeleteYour table is beautiful, Baili! I'm glad that you can sit at it and enjoy writing in the sunlight. Ali is so kind and thoughtful! May you have many wonderful hours of writing and creating and enjoying meals here! Hugs to you!
ReplyDeletethanks dear Louise
ReplyDeletemy younger son arrived today morning to spend two weeks with us before starting summer course or internship whatever suits him. the four of us ate together on our dinning table :) hugs and love!!!!
