Our new furniture

This table will have seen 5 generations of Sweetwoods once Genevieve is old enough to eat with us. It was a not-so-pretty orange before Ryan's dad refinished it for us, and Ryan's working on refinishing the chairs that go with it. Isn't it beautiful?

We like that it can fold down because our dining area is a little narrow.
And now, what you've all been waiting for...

Ta Dah! Isn't it gorgeous? It's made out of zebra maple and cherry. Ryan and his dad made it themselves. I'm so excited we have such a wonderful family heirloom to pass on.

Sooooooooo gorgeous! The table looks perfect in your house. It looks even better than I had imagined. Good job on finishing the crib Ryan. It's so special to have something made by papa. Love and miss you guys!
