I have a problem with wanting what I can’t have. For example, when we move into our new place, I have a serious urge to sell ALL of our existing furniture, which has been sitting in storage for 2 years and is no longer in remote alignment with my current taste, and refurnish the entire place with pieces that are:
- Made sustainably with long-lasting quality, and
- Closer to my and my husband’s now more-refined tastes
That’s flawed thinking of course, because the most sustainable thing to do would be to keep what we already have and learn to live with it. But I can’t help but dream. If we were to start from scratch? The new dining area would begin with this Fire WCS Dining Table from PURE by Ami McKay.
It is nothing short of droolworthy, and did I mention it’s on sale? A price tag of nearly $900 is still nothing to sneeze at, but it’s better than $1370. At 30″ tall and 48″ in diameter, it’s small enough to fit comfortably in a breakfast nook and big enough to seat at least 4 people. I’m also a sucker for the elegance of round tables.
Give me a beautiful capiz shell chandelier and a group of vintage tulip chairs, and I’d be in dining heaven. At least in my dreams, I would. My bloggy buddy David over at The Good Human reminded me the other day that we can’t shop our way out of the climate crisis, so I’ll likely just wind up attacking our boring, blonde wood dining table with a can of paint. Because no matter how much I fantasize, that would be the greenest thing to do.
But if you NEED a dining table, by all means, have at it
