The Table Exchange

Different Table

This year we decided to get a new table.  I wanted one that could add a leaf so we could have more room for guests.  Kari and I looked at New tables on Amazon and Ikea to get an idea of what the cost might be.  They were $300 - $500 for just the table.  

We decided then just for cost savings to look at Craigslist and Offer Up.  We discovered nice used tables offered and tables for usually less than $200.  Kari found one she took us out to in Friday night.

Usually I be more careful when going to someone's house after dark. But Kari had been talking to this mom who was moving.  Her home was very nice and she was nice.  It was good except for the table was aqua.  We thought by the photo it was green.  I told her it was nice but the wrong color.

The next morning Kari went to see a couple and bought the wooden table above in the photo.  We don't know how she did it but she got a table, leaf, and 4 chairs in her car.

Then we took the old table to some friends that needed it for their place.  Their table came apart when they moved a few months ago.  The old white table that was only square for 4 people, no leaf.


Have a great week!
