It measures 42" x 36" and there are three 12" leaves for it. I had stopped at an antique shop and the owner refinishes furniture. He said all I should do with this is use Howards on it to clean and polish it up. I also got 2 chairs for the kids, but they'll have to find other chairs down there. I'm sure there are a lot of antique or used stores there too. The antique store owner said an eighty year old fellow brought this table in, and said it had been his mothers table; so it is well over 100 years old. I'm sure he hated to part with it, but a young family will enjoy it for many years.
Here's the two chairs I bought. They need a little cleaning too! Very well built.
Here's my table: You have to excuse my sewing stuff on it, but I wanted to show you the legs. I love them! The sewing stuff on the table are the bean bags I'm making for my brother in law. Sorry the picture is a little dark.
Here is the sunset almost done, as I was feeding Odda and putting her in her kennel tonight.
The sky looks like you had taken a brush and painted it. Click on it to see it larger, and it looks like a painting!
The evening is almost over, so I'll wish you a good day tomorrow!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope that you have a nice trip to NE. You will be about 2 1/2 hrs east of me.
Hubs and I are going to SD over Labor Day weekend.
Your sunset does look like it has been painted. We have been having some beautiful sunsets here lately also.
I have my grandma table and it is well over 100 yrs also. I have it in storage right now but I have been thinking about selling it.
Have a great day.
I do love the table and I am sur eit will be much appreciated..what a wonderful sky that was. Over here we have a saying..don't know if you have the same one...Red at night shepards delight red in the morning shepards warning...It is funny how often it works as well.
love Sybil x
That sunset is prettier than any painting I have ever seen!
Beautiful, beautiful table, too. I am so glad you found it and it will continue to be loved for many, many more years.
