I love adding to my collection of T's. My dining table I bought in Leavenworth, KS for 125 about 8 years ago. It was a great turquoisey stain made from old reclaimed wood. I foolishly painted it white for my shabby condo and had regretted it ever since. I took it out to our backyard recently and decided to strip it, i liked the "not completely stripped" look I was getting, along with the faded turquoise/green hues coming through so I left it. The hutch and 2 chairs on either side of it I antiqued, they were given to my free by my brother and sister-in-law. My mom found them at a garage sale for them right after they got married 23 years ago, so he was passing them along to me. The 2 yellow chairs on either end of the dining table belong to that set as well, i just put $15 ikea slip covers (made for parsons chairs) on them. I had 4 red ladderback chairs with my dining room but recently gave them away. I'm in search of retro metal zinc chairs - that I can afford !
Of course my cowhide rug works perfect in here - i think !
To the left of the hutch is another Mack memoribilia - the Mack bulldog saying Built Like A Mack

Nice blog! We were planning to decorate our dining room and getting rid of all those old stuff because we were thinking of using more modern pieces and we bought everything we need about dining furniture at Ballard Designs.
