This is my dining room.
And this is my dining room table.
I bought it at a yard sale years ago and it has seen hundreds of parties and celebrations and scrabble games and puzzles and dinners....
....and dozens of Thanksgiving turkeys.
Over the years it has even distressed itself and become somewhat rustic in personality.
And as amazing as this table is, the time has come for a new chapter in the dining table story and I'm looking for it's replacement.
Just between us....it's going to be a hard act to follow.
So I searched through all the Lamps Plus rustic dining tables and whittled them down.
Here are the contenders for my new rustic dining table.
Option 1: This table, the windsor distressed white dining table doesn't need to distress itself.
It comes with an amazing patina and finish and looks like it was hand-carved by the pilgrims as they traveled the seas in the Mayflower.
I love the double chunky pedestals used as table legs and the actual length of the table top.
Option 2: This rustic extendable dining table celebrates all that is right and good with its simple clean lines.
It looks like it would hold up to years of parties and celebrations.
And it's extendable.
Double the guests....yes, please.
Option 3: This rectangular carved wood dining table is probably the closet to the current dining room table.
Except better.
It's the fancy cousin with its carved legs and farmhouse board top and classic attitude.
It would look right at home in my dining room with faded gray textured chairs and a burlap runner.
Option 4: This Astor Dutch Brown Extension Table is the perfect combination of option 2 and option 3.
It has the worn patina and character and its extendable, too.
I see it with antique benches filled with pillows and a throw.
Option 5: This Maddox Antique Pine Dining Table combines so many of the features from the options above.
And it has nail-head trim.
I know you're not supposed to have rustic dining table favorites.
I know I'm suppose to be impartial.
But I can't help it.....
.....I think this one is the winner.
