A new addition to the kitchen

<span style="font-style: italic;">This blog chronicles my entire kitchen renovation from start to finish. Greentea Design has provided me with their solid wood <a href="http://www.greenteadesign.com/kitchen-cabinets.html" target="blank">kitchen cabinets</a>, and I'm taking care of the rest.<br /><br />If you'd like to be brought up to date, check out the archive in the sidebar for previous posts. I recently bought a new dining table and took some new photos of the kitchen to show it in the space.</span><br /><br />During the kitchen renovation, I wanted a dining table built because I needed something narrower than an average size table, and it needed to fit 6 people. My boyfriend and I were initially going to build it, but my contractor offered so we took him up on it. The table turned out to be pretty disastrous. The wood of the top ended up warping and splitting, and the pedestal base was completely non-functional for such a long table. In the end, I ended up picking up a couple cheap table legs at Ikea and adding those on, particularly for instances when some of my porkier cats would launch onto it from the countertop. Here is a photo of the table:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghQiLAoVLi1UES3MZuiuRtVbml6HxMJ6z4C8sVZbV464i6QaMF2C9HOJaTxU24GwFuhYrywUVpOv-rKnd1TvqfZm02NO06HwRGzB_VMVze7J8hRrybdSHN63XeDS52_ryLLnHz_Ocz1Vk/s1600-h/before.jpg"target="blank"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359925214340493426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghQiLAoVLi1UES3MZuiuRtVbml6HxMJ6z4C8sVZbV464i6QaMF2C9HOJaTxU24GwFuhYrywUVpOv-rKnd1TvqfZm02NO06HwRGzB_VMVze7J8hRrybdSHN63XeDS52_ryLLnHz_Ocz1Vk/s800/before.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" /></a><br />I've been looking for a table on and off for several months now and have had no luck, up until a couple Fridays ago when I took my boyfriend down to the Byward Market with me on a table hunt. We were in <a href="http://stacaro.com" target="blank">Stacaro</a>, my new favourite store, when Jeff spotted a really cool desk. It was on sale at 40% off (floor model), and had a black steel base and a wood top, the same colour as my cabinets but a few shades darker. It came with a shelf attached to house a desktop computer, and we quickly discovered it could easily unscrew off. It was the perfect width (just shy of 3') and length. Here is a photo of it from their website:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiGVIatWeJAou-YDtsYlGdR5gzxfilb7Q5U4nLa40rTfWjHWaVSABfHwFd-N1yzEJRwAf6RHsIfqHN0lMS1_jVmC2h_JB8KWyid9k2pukIUYQSnWZV38vVdu7FUHvgNufauZBg7SutV1g/s1600-h/stacaro.jpg"target="blank"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359928318217917234" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiGVIatWeJAou-YDtsYlGdR5gzxfilb7Q5U4nLa40rTfWjHWaVSABfHwFd-N1yzEJRwAf6RHsIfqHN0lMS1_jVmC2h_JB8KWyid9k2pukIUYQSnWZV38vVdu7FUHvgNufauZBg7SutV1g/s800/stacaro.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" /></a><br />SOLD! It arrived last Monday and I finally got a chance to try it out with the shelf (decided it was too distracting and hid my Pantons) and find some things for a centrepiece. I love it. I am so happy to have something straight to eat off of, and I am no longer embarassed to have people over for a meal.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfW36la86Rh1TGr4rVFzJzlwmGy0hRYPTNQKYt04GqNyiKwr9JN1W8EoZo1ShTslK6qMQeMEfjokznex5XW3C9Kn5Ki0wx-gjAObO9xrQdMx8Dge3uDz84UnpzOtegKnDwLytThxfPeko/s1600-h/DSC_00010001_b.jpg"target="blank"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359929119190498130" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfW36la86Rh1TGr4rVFzJzlwmGy0hRYPTNQKYt04GqNyiKwr9JN1W8EoZo1ShTslK6qMQeMEfjokznex5XW3C9Kn5Ki0wx-gjAObO9xrQdMx8Dge3uDz84UnpzOtegKnDwLytThxfPeko/s800/DSC_00010001_b.jpg" style="display:block;
