Well, we finally found a dining set we like! Actually, we’ve seen it several times while out looking but wanted to exhaust all available options before making a decision. Everything else we saw was either too big, too fugly, or over our price limit, so we chose the Largo Dinette Collection from Harlem Room Place. We like it because the table has somewhat of a unique look because with the leaf in it’s square. Plus it’s more a cafe style because it sits higher, which we like. I also like how the square pattern on the table-top is a darker wood and almost matches our laminate wood flooring. In addition, the table has a butterfly leaf which means it folds into the bottom of the table which makes it more convenient to change the size.
Since Joe is off on Thursday, we’re having it delivered in time for Christmas. Too bad we can’t seem to find an affordable area rug for the dining room. I really wanted to get one to protect the floor because despite the manufacturer’s claim that it is dent resistant, Joe dropped a roll of painter’s tape on it, and the surface chipped! Can you believe that? And the brand is Mohawk so it’s not cheap flooring either. It seems really sensitive to me, and I’m so glad we didn’t put it in the living room too or I’d really be pissed. Once we get a rug, I will be able to breathe easier.
