we got it!

With Mark having the morning off (he just got back from a trip to Florida last night), we were able to go into the furniture store this morning. The square table was still there! 

We got the square table for even less then we thought we would, and we ended up getting a higher base for it (same square table top as in the picture below, just higher legs). The marble just sort of drops onto the four legs, so we went with a higher one... not very kid friendly, but Mark had an idea about it: 

We'll just hold our little kiddo hostage up on the high doom-chair until he finishes all his vegetables! ha ha Just kidding, of course, but it put a funny picture in my head. 

Chairs are still an issue. We didn't get any from the furniture store since we went with the higher table. Otherwise, Mark was going to 'give in' to the white leather chairs (that were actually CHEAPER than the Pier 1 chairs!! Get that!). 

So the hunt continues...
