dining room tables: a search.

seen: via emmas designblogg

A family of boys (2 little + one big), especially a family of boys within my larger family (natural food lovers), is centered around food.  I learned quickly to keep them fed.  I try hard to keep food exciting.  I really want to be comfortable in my kitchen (a work in progress) and to ultimately have a kitchen that my boys and all of their friends are comfortable in too.

In 2011, we hope to find a dining room table (but for the lack of a dining room, one that will serve as a kitchen table too) that will be reason to feed our family & friends, that will stand the test of family and time & that can become the center of our home.

For years now, I've loved the x-leg tables.  Solid & sturdy.  A little bit salvage, a little bit modern.  Found on my search:
