I am the mom of 6 kids,and we are NOT rich..lol..I am so tired of part of us sitting in the livingroom watching Jeopardy,and eating dinner,while part is in the kitchen on t.v. tray sized tables eating.I bought a really neat old,pine drop leaf diningroom table at the Goodwill,with 6 chairs for $25.It REALLY has been used,lol,it has "pot" burns on the surface,cuts where things were sliced,etc.I have sanded it down nicely,but the burns where the Hot pots sat are deep...I wondered how Frank painted that table cloth on that table that time,and if anyone had any pattern,or finish suggestions to make it "family friendly", durable,and "pretty"...hugs,Diana
