Benches Rule!!!

When we replaced the kitchen table in the fall, the table was the point... But what we've come to REALLY appreciate are the benches.

We've gone from being able to seat 4, sometimes 6 if you borrow chairs from the dinning room, 8 if you add the leaf AND drag 4 chairs out of the dinning room to being able to enjoy dinner as a family of 4, and host a slew of friends without changing a thing. We actually had 9 around our table the other day.

NINE!!!

2 in chairs, 4 on one side, 3 on the other... AMAZING!
