Before we moved into our new home, I scored a sweet deal on a Martha Stewart farmhouse table. It had one small knick in it, so for $50 I knew this floor model would fit perfectly in our home. With the discounted floor model chairs and an e-bay bench, we had ourselves a grown-up table set.
Today my Martha Stewart newsletter showed up in my inbox. And low and behold, my table and chairs were on the front page.
A table on casters? Really?
I wonder what Martha would think if she saw my version of her table. It's a pretty sad representation of Martha Stewart and her brand. (Although, I did by the table at KMart and I don't know if there could be a worse representation of Martha then KMart.)
As much as I would love to have her version of this table, I have a sneaking suspicion that Martha Stewart doesn't have much fun.
I'd much rather have my melamine dishes and chewed up cups, mustard and marker smeared table top, sticky underneath all of the edges and stable on the ground table.
5 comments to remember:
Yeah, I heard somewhere that Martha Stewart planted roses when her baby daughter was born so they would be huge and beautiful for her daughter's wedding some day. The daughter opted to get married at City Hall. I think she did let her mom throw a luncheon for her, but that was IT. Very talented woman, but probably not someone you can kick back with and enjoy life!
I have the chairs to that set, but only four and I want more...K-Mart doesn't carry them anymore...at least I haven't been able to find them. I wonder how to find them???
Casters, hmm. My Abigail would be daredeviling it every minute she could. Get the emergency room prepped!
I love your table! It is so perfect. I wish I could find a steal like that.
Love your comments on the Martha Stewart Table and your philosophy is right on.
Your family photos are so enjoyable.
Thanks for your note. We love you all.
