Family Heirloom

A long time ago, my grandparents had a dinner table they refinished as a coffee table. 

I remember it so well sitting in their house. As a baby, I slept on the table. As a young kid, we sat on the table to play slap jack with my grandpa. My grandpa always told me that I would get the table as it seemed like mine already.

My dad finally drove this special table out to Colorado this fall. I didn't think we were ready for it (we had two tables already), but he insisted he was ready to give it back. We decided to turn it into our dining room table and refinish it. 

We started with sanding it, with the help of Cedric. After a few coats of stain and some glossy finish we had our finished table. We are so excited! 

My Christmas present was even to get the dining chairs that I had my eyes on. I love how it turned out and how it seems like a bit of my grandparents home is sitting in our dining room now.
