My Englishman’s Georgian-Style Dining Table is Here!

Hi Everyone,

Okay, yes, my Englishman’s Georgian-style dining table is here. However, “here” means in the USA, specifically, in Atlanta, GA. Like my sofa, it was made in England!

 

However, I do have pics and a short story. It’s a good one.

 

First of all, I missed Anne O’Connor’s email asking if I could use the credit card on file for the balance of the table and the shipping charges. Unfortunately, missing emails is not uncommon. Anyway, I was all set to reply, “Of course,” when I noticed pics at the bottom of the email.

There were three photos of a beautiful dining table.

 

The only problem was, it wasn’t the table I ordered.

 

This was the quad-leg dining table, not the birdcage base dining table.

Oh shite! Don’t tell me I bungled that one, too. I was sure I had made it crystal clear.

 

It kind of reminds me of this hilarious woman on Instagram. (This links to this screamingly funny post).

So yes, I rifled through text messages and emails frantically searching for the proof that I had ordered the correct table.

 

After about 20 minutes, I found it all, including photos, and about a dozen emails back and forth that all said “BIRDCAGE BASE DINING TABLE.”

 

Natch, this was after I sent out the Hot Sales on Friday, so I had to wait all weekend for Ann’s response.

 

I spoke to Ann on Monday, and she said she had no idea why she sent those photos. She sent me the correct images, and here they are!

I asked for heavy on the hand-planing for a more antique look, and they did a fantastic job. Obviously, this is the table closed.

And below is the table with its two leaves.

 

God only knows if I will ever need a table this large. However, I figured I would regret it if I didn’t do it. Gosh, I don’t even have enough dishes to put around a table this size.

Oh well. We’ll just use paper plates. ;]

haha

Below is another view of the gorgeous cherry wood table.

 

I’ve always wanted a round extension dining table, and here it is!

What I adore about Englishman’s is that their tables are certainly traditional without the overly formal, too-perfect polish.

And yes, that’s a yew wood banding.

Hopefully, I’ll have the table before Mother’s Day. Cale is coming for a visit. I can’t remember the last time I saw him on Mother’s Day.

Speaking of which, have you seen the new Mother’s Day gift guide? I just added some new items to it and will add some more for tomorrow and Sunday.

 

Laurel, when will we see your window treatments and the Gracie panels?

 

Guys. Please believe me when I tell you that I am working on both of those things. First, my windows need to be fixed and cleaned. I have made headway with that and the Gracie wallpaper panels. Yes, I should’ve started on those projects sooner, but I am only one person, and anyway. Who cares? I know everything will get done.

I had my annual physical today.

 

Great news. My blood pressure was 113/61, total cholesterol 175!

The kidneys won’t get checked again until August, but I am feeling well and still going for long walks.

 

Well, that’s all for now!

xo,
