Dining Room - German Chateau to Contemporary Sleek

Our Dining room took on a transformation.  We pulled the wood trim outlining the walls off, removed carpet, popcorn ceilings and replaced the light fixture.  My great grandmother's dining room table was broken in the move from Enid as the packer (aka Mike) stacked way to many heavy things on it and the legs were broken.  In all honesty it was beautiful but it had seen better days and was definitely an antique so I was happy to purchase a new table and chairs for my contemporary dining room. 

Now I do have a story for you... Mike and I invited our first dinner guests to our home and sat in our dinning room with a plastic long table (new table wasn't in yet).  Our new chairs had arrived days before and my sister and I had assembled them.  When the guest sat down and leaned back in his chair the back popped off and his legs flipped in the air, knocking our food and beverages everywhere.  How embarrassing!  Fortunately he wasn't hurt and we have a good memory to laugh about.  That night was a disaster.  My kids had a fire in the fire pit that night - fire department showed up.  The Weber Grill failed to ignite so our BBQ dinner couldn't be cooked ( ate leftovers).  And then the chair....we are lucky this family is still our friends.  Needless to say we waited a few months to have anyone over for dinner again.
