It took me forever before I was satisfied that my replacement tabletop wouldn’t warp, but my table is finally finished, and it’s perfect for that space! Now, we just need to wire the sconce light and get rid of that lamp. For now, though, I’m satisfied.

I didn’t have a picture with the round top, so I cropped this from the end of a picture I’d taken of the “kitchen” table. It’s not actually crooked–that’s just the angle–and the clutter doesn’t do it any favours, but at least the round top is visible.

I’m making supper tonight; angel hair pasta with garlic, lemon and shrimp in white wine, and bacon-wrapped scallops. Later, I’m going to try the wine B. recommended as tasting like grape juice (which is perfect for someone who likes the idea of wine, but not the taste!)
