I’m delighted with our new dining table. We bought it off Craigslist, from a very nice lady in Martinez. The table smells like smoke, but not too strongly, and it was an amazing deal for $150.
This is what it looks like for everyday use:

And this is what we can do when we want to have dinner parties!!

Yes… the top photo is of the table with the two drop-leaves extended, and the animation is of the full extension with drop-leaves and three insertable center leaves. Crazy.
SO nice to have a real dining table at last.
very nice! I can see that you’re planning on plenty of dinner parties π
Oh yez. π
OH my goodness, that is so cool! π craigslist is amazing. i have found some really great stuff for great prices on craigslist. yay for dining table!!- alison
I’m excited about it too! There is so much just awful crap on craigslist that it can be really annoying to sift through all the ads, but I was so happy to find this table… and it proves there are treasures amid the muck. π
most def! keep looking too! i got this really cool vintage dressing mirror from craigslist… 20 dollars! π – alison
Ooooh, I LOVE vintage mirrors!! I have not allowed myself to buy a single one yet because I suspect I’d be opening floodgates. π Is it framed or rimless?
it’s very simple – long and oval, framed in wood, you know the freestanding kind that you can tilt back and forth. propped on cute little feet π one of these days, when we finish painting our house i will post pictures and you can see. or you can come visit us in tx again π heehee – alison
Ohh, that sounds adorable. π I also have a weakness for freestanding mirrors. Hee! Yes, we both need to post pics of our houses. π
