It was a golden oak round table with four leaves, sits twenty. My friend had to move. There was no room for her family heirloom. Could I store it? Not really. I have no room in my cellar as it is. For some reason it was bothering me. The table was going to be junked. At the last minute, I decided I would take the table. My table was broken and needed refinishing so I would throw mine away until my friend wanted hers back, then buy a new one. Sounds easy? Right? My poor son had the job of getting the table. He had to drive to Port Chester to borrow a truck. Drive to Peekskill to get the table. Deliver it to my home. Return the truck back to Port Chester. I ruined his day off. And when the table arrived, I wasn't so sure I liked it!
Surprise. When the table was put together and liquid gold was applied, it looked beautiful. Strange enough were the leaves. The table is a golden oak color but the leaves were dark brown, almost black. It still looks great. Another great idea: I am going to refinish my table as it is much needed and certainly less expensive than to buy a new one. Double bonus is I am now inspired to clean the cellar to make room for the table.
