He knows how much I love primitive/Colonial decorating and he is always on the look out for a new piece for me to add to my collection. This past week he found a wonderful farmhouse table. He asked me about it and of course I loved it. It is an early birthday present. My birthday isn't until November.
I put the table in the dining area of the basement kitchen. I love it!!!
I had two black chairs that matched, so I put one on either end of the table. I chose to leave the sides open so that the wonderful drawers would show.
The place mats were made by my mom a few years ago.
In the center of the table, I placed a firkin filled with dried grass and placed it on top of a wooded little stool I have to give it some height.
I think it looks great and I cannot thank Jeff enough for being so wonderful to me. I really do not deserve such a wonderful guy to spend my life with.

Gorgeous find by Jeff! Lucky, lucky you. :) I love that riser you have under the firkin, too. :)
Love it!!!
Love the table! It looks beautiful. Your home is stunning.
It all looks so nice. You have me inspired and wanting to fix up my basement! I'll not mention that right now to my dh since we have lots of other things on the to do list, lol! Does your basement smell at all? We have a dehumidifier that runs some. I'd like to sheetrock a little room down there and have some primitives and maybe my own lil space.
What a lovely gift you received. I love the way you have it set up.
Hugs,
Nadine
You are blessed to have found a keeper for life..
Your new old table looks awesome and the chairs are perfect!
You'll have to fix a special dinner for the two of you at your new table!

I love the table..I think the chairs look great where they are placed and I do agree with leaving it open so you can see the drawers..Jeff sounds like a wonderful man but then again I am partial to the name for my husband's name is Jeff..LOL...Have a great week..

What a wonderful gift and such a caring person. Your house always makes me wish I could find a bigger house so I would have room to decorate (and use you for an inspiration) Thanks for sharing some more wonderful pictures of your home :)
Your table looks wonderful and I love the display on it.
Enjoy!

Dan, would you and Jeff please come to my house and "redo" it for me??? I love, absolutely love what you do. Your blog is going to me an inspiration for me!!!
That table is a beautiful antique! I love the legs. What a lucky find for your birthday! Dan, which kitchen do you use? Upstairs or downstairs? Or both?

Just came across your blog and took a tour, you have a beautiful home! I am your newest follower, looking forward to upcoming posts. Diane
First off what a great table. Second I am so jealous that you have two kitchens. You are indeed lucky to have someone who supports your decor habit. My hubby is the same and loves to help me decorate the house. In fact he hogs it and changes things when I am gone. But he has his mother's sense of display and does a great job.
"I really do not deserve such a wonderful guy to spend my life with." Honey you do deserve this kind of love. It is the kind I have been looking for all my life. So just enjoy his love and gifts and keep sharing them with us.
By the way the table is gorgeous.
I love you both
Maggie

Enjoy, :)
