I was thrilled to have our new dining table delivered this morning. We kept visiting the store, touching it, imagining it in our home until finally, the 4th or 5th visit we walked in together and it was on Sale! It's entirely handcrafted in India, and has a wonderful India smell to it. I swear that smell is in all their fabrics, papers, etc. Brings back memories. It's a super hard and heavy type of Indian Hardwood, and it's hand chiseled on top.We now officially have seating for 7 as we make way for Amelie! Three fit comfortably on the bench and then 4 in the chairs. Daniel and I were joking that it's GREAT we only have room for 7, and that we didn't get a table for 8 because God knows we'd end up trying to fill that empty seat; not funny because that happened when we had a family of 5, and a table for 6! This table is perfect for our very "complete" family!

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!! and I love that the seating isn't all matchy-matchy. it goes so well w/ the spirit of your family!
Now, the only question for Sky is, when the family is all together eating at the table, is there real food, or is it a figment of your imagination/non-reality. Hmmm.
AMAZING TABLE! We, too, have a large "come one-come all" dining table and it's been the heart of so many wonderful memories! I wish you and your SEVEN (yay!) many of the same!
That is awesome!!!!
BEAUTIFUL TABLE! And I know exactly the wonderful India smell you are referring to. Samedh's original court docs have that smell, as do any of our Indian garments and bedcovers when I pull them from the closet. Brings back great memories.
