Old and New

Today we picked up our first new piece of furniture for the house, and we love it!  A while back we stumbled upon the work of Kenn of Shenandoah Second Wind at a local antique shop.  We fell in love with his beautiful coffee tables, made of reclaimed wood, and for Nick's birthday his parents kindly financed the creation and purchase of one.  It took about a month to build, and today we brought home the new purchase.

It is made of reclaimed wormy chestnut that was originally used in an early 20th century building; Kenn will be sending us the provenance shortly.  Isn't it gorgeous?  Plus, now I have somewhere comfortable to put my computer mouse and keyboard.  Now we just have to keep Westley from chewing on it...
