The family dinner table.

Our dinner table has seen its share of abuse.  Take a look.

Well, I decided it was time to do something about it.  First, I put some stripper on it, then spent some time with the sander and this is what it looks like now.

It looks better already.  The hard part is next.  I have to stain it and I've never done it before, so stay tuned.  In the meantime, we went from a decent family sized table,

to a much smaller sized table.

We are enjoying it for the time being, but I'll be ready to have room for family and food at the same time.  I'll keep you posted!
