The best Farmhouse table and love story

Not only do I have an amazing husband, but I also have a great farmhouse table that has recently made it’s way from my husbands office back down to the breakfast area . I am such a lucky gal in more ways then one and today I want to share the best farmhouse table and love story with you.

The best Farmhouse table and love story 

 See this farmhouse table is very symbolic to our love and our relationship…and how our love story began.  I will never forget that Fall night exactly 15 years ago today, I went to his house for dinner.  He had set this table with beautiful flowers, wine and mismatched plates ( who knew he would be trendy years later) . We had lobster by candlelight. Music in the background. It was perfect.

After we were finished with our dinner he got up and said “come under the table, there’s something I want to show you”. I am thinking to myself  WHAT this is a bit creepy……. this guy is cute but I had never heard that cheesy one-liner before.

So I got down under the table and there it was. Those three little words, carved in the leg of that beautiful table. With my heart beating fast, totally speechless and completely caught off guard, I say ” oh no, you have ruined your beautiful table” to which he quickly responds “it’s not ruined, we will have this table forever…just like our love”. 
It was at that very moment underneath that table, that I knew I loved this man……and that he and his table were a keeper.

 18 years later that table now sits in our breakfast room filled with the voices and laughter of our 3 children that sit around it  ….and full of love.  And although the color of the room is different and the style has changed, the one thing that has remained a constant is our love and that table. Besides,I’m thinking that any man that’s a great cook and carves that he loves you into the leg of a beautiful wood table has got to be the one…. even with his cheesy one-liner!

  1. Aw……that is the SWEEETEST story! I would have to agree with you that he is a keeper. That table is too, btw. I love the chunky legs. Now you know you can never sell it! I really enjoyed spending the day with you at the Country Living Fair too. It was nice to finally meet you in person. I'm looking forward to seeing where you put your new items.

  2. How can you not shed a happy tear on this story!!!….I love the story and I love that you moved that table to the kitchen area so that you can admire it every day and the kids can eat on that table swarmed with sentiment….such a family heirloom that your children will cherish….

  3. Oh Laura, what a beautiful memory! Your husband sounds like such a wonderful man, treasure him (and your table) for the rest of your days. Your children and all who follow will cherish your story.
