Anybody looking for a dining table?
Yes yes, I know I haven't updated for over a month. And for once it's not because i've not been doing much of note, but because i've actually been really really busy and not had much time to sit down and write about it all. I have been using google calendars a lot though (it's a lifesaver!) and using twitter as an aide to arranging things and occasionally comments on what i'm doing. So when I do have time to make a post I should be able to give a summary of my busyness!
But for now... my parents have a big dining table that they have had for over 20 years, that wasn't new when they bought it. The wood is still good and strong but has quite a few scratches and marks in the varnish from lots of use. It seats 6-8 people, and has a leaf in the middle to extend the table so it seats 10-12. It has 6 (or possibly 8?) chairs that go with it which are upholstered but very shabby and worn. They did consider getting it restored and the chairs reupholstered, but were told it would cost more than a new dining set would, so they've decided to go with a new one. But it's a shame to take such a nice piece of furniture to the tip so they'd rather someone got some more use out of it. They don't want any money for it, but have said they don't really want strangers coming to the house to collect/look at it, so freecycle is out.
Anyone interested? I've asked them to send me a photo.
