12/8/09 - Day 32 - New DIningroom Table

My ex-husband and I had purchased all oak furniture in the early 1980s. Sturdy, functional, brown.  With a new bold, kitchen it was time for a bold change. IKEA to the rescue again with a sleek black table and simple and comfortable black chairs.  As all IKEA products, it was relatively simple to build, clean, and (comparatively) inexpensive.

The white padding will be gone in a future project, to be replaced by beautifully-textured African fabric. Spice!
