<p>Wow Mathmom–you stole my table. Mine also was my paternal great-grandparents’. I don’t have claw feet, but it’s <em>very</em> wide, plus has the china cupboard, and buffet. After moving it 7 times, my mom took ahold of her big opportunity and “gave” the set to me the week after I married. H#1 complained constantly we had buy a house with a separate room for it. (he was right)</p>
<p>I don’t really like the style all that much–I’m more into older, antique oak furniture. But…I’m a genealogy addict and I have soooo many pictures and movies of my great-grandparents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc. all gathered round this table celebrating birthdays and holidays. I just can’t ditch it.</p>
<p>Yeah! Oldest S has a serious girlfriend. I’m sensing possiblities in a few years…</p>
