When Steven and I first moved into our new home, I was on the lookout for a new dining room set.  I quickly fell in love with this one – and after a few months, realized it was so not the set for me.  No, scratch that.  It’s great for ME, just not a husband who is incredibly clumsy with things like keys matched up with my very Type A personality disorder.  At first, it was me watching the table linens (tablecloth) EVERY meal.  Because as soon as I put it on the table, hubs would get mustard or spaghetti sauce…or drip something on it.  Every. Time.  So, I finally found a a plain white table protector – It’s padded and is white and vinyl on the top.   I figured it’d keep my husband from scratching up my new things…and so it has.

And, now…I need to part with this great (and antique) set.  I’m asking $1600 (OBO).  I’ll even include the stoneware dish set (you will see part of the set in the upcoming pictures).  I’m wanting to find a little table that I can refinish and paint and won’t care if my daughter (or husband) takes a crayon and markers to it.  I need that, or I may just go crazy.

So, here are the pics…

The Buffet.  All of the drawers you see are real and functional.  Very functional.  In fact, there’s so much storage in this little guy, I ran out of plates and such to put in him.  He holds some of my art stuff right now.  (Excuse the hatbox underneath…it’s the dog’s bed…and yes, she has a flannel “mattress”).

Still the Buffet – a little closer for the detail shots.

A chair close up.  Not in love with the fabric?  No biggie. Very easy to switch out (I checked).

The table (shortened) and 4 (out of 6) of the chairs.

Some more detail in the wood.  Underneath, you can see the extra leaf.  It stores under the table and with a simple unlocking gesture and pulling on one end of the table, you can extend the leaf.  Not hard at all (I can do it by myself).

Because you were dying to see the leaf up-close.

China Cabinet.  Drawer (it’s long) and all cabinet doors open and close.

See?  I told you.

Welcome back!
