Steadfast Centerpiece

We do a lot of living in our living room. Watching TV, playing games, assembling puzzles, creating artwork, indoor picnics. Our family of four spends a lot of time gathered on the couch and around the coffee table. Between the living room and the dining room, a lot of laughing and loving happens and many family memories are made. It takes a rugged piece of furniture to function as the centerpiece of a busy boy household. It has to be a step stool, a work surface, a game top, and occasionally a dining table. The massive square reclaimed barnwood table we have in our living room fits the description perfectly. Solid, seasoned wood holds up to the abuse our two boys hand out and the drawers along its sides are a great hiding spot for coloring and crafting supplies. These days with the boys are fleeting and I’m thankful for every minute we get to gather together around the steadfast centerpiece in our living room. Watching the joy dance in the eyes of our sons is one of the greatest pleasures in my life. I’m even more grateful that we can laugh and enjoy those moments without worry of the Country Roads Reclaimed Wood Square Coffee Table cracking under the strain of little boys.
