I remember the tablecloths in the middle with the oak on the ends. That was pretty and it’s fun to do something a bit unique!

You will have fun re-doing your table when you find the time! And, yes, it is fun to discover collections or things that make my home “home”!

Isn’t it fun how collections sort of just creep up on you?
I don’t use either one right now. but I used to. When we used mOm and Dad’s old table that was oak but had maple boards I always covered all or some of it. I started out using tablecloths that covered it all. But since the ends were rounded and sometimes I wanted to stretch the table really long that meant I had to make the tablecloth. And though I am ‘one who sews’ and I sew a lot of things somehow tablecloths is NOT on my favorite list. I did the ‘throw a piece of fabric on it’ trick but if I wanted to cover the whole table I at least had to cut the ends rounded to match the table. So I switched to just covering the boards with cloths and leaving the old oak ends exposed. I liked that a lot. And I would use a mixture of vintage tablecloths to make it fit.
Now that I have Mom and Dad’s old harvest table i rarely use anything on it. But lately i’ve been thinking that if I don’t get the thing repainted I’m going to have to start using tablecloths again cause all the crafting, designing, creating, painting and schoolwork/artwork that’s been done on it is starting to really show. And as much as I like things that aren’t perfect this one is getting to a point of not being very appealing. And my husband is tired of all the chaos on it 😉
