Vicente Wolf Dining

I literally might be too excited to sleep.

After two years without our precious belongings, we are finally moving and bringing all of our stuff with us.  Since we did LA → NYC → SF in a {relatively} short period of time, if didn’t make sense to drag all our stuff  with us across the country and back. But now that we are {more or less} settled, we are finally ready to unpack it all.

And so thankfully the move won’t require too many purchases, and it will still feel like Christmas! Finally getting to use all of our wedding gifts, plus our old kitchen stuff – I can’t hardly take it.

And the real bonus is there is room for a real dining room table! All of our old places have been short in the dining space, so this new place means two things. Scoping out a dining table and honest-to-goodness dinner parties!

I am thinking that we want a nice long table – like a farm table or a library table. How great is that top one from a Vicente Wolf dining room? I have had that pic stored on my computer for as long as I can remember.

These options above are nice, but my goodness are tables expensive!

I know there are cheaper options, and please, many times I go that route, but we spend so much time around our tables, that it is nice to have something that isn’t so, well, Ikea.

I am thinking about maybe even having something custom made. That way I can get exactly what we want, use reclaimed wood and maybe even save some pennies!

Have you tried having tables made – any thoughts?

And to finish it off, I think the end chairs should be a bit bigger and special … and bonus – we can always move them to the living area if we need extra seating.

What do you think?

And don’t worry – we will have some majors soirees once we get settled.  And chances are, you’ll be there too!!
