Snow white

Adriaan has had this wish for a dining table with a marble top for a long time, so when he was at the carpenter shop to have desks, chairs and a dining table made he decided now was the time. He designed a wooden frame and went to pick the marble. The carpenter did a great job and last weekend everything was delivered to our house, except for the marble.

On Tuesday he got a phone call from the shop to say that the table top would be delivered between 12:00 and 14:00 hr. Babu had to laugh and told me it was more likely going to be after 20:00 hr or even the next day. And indeed Babu was right, they came at 20:30hr.

It took 5 men and a lot of huffing and puffing to get the huge marble plate inside, and it fitted perfectly on the frame. So now we have a snow white, huge dining table, that easily sits 10 people.

We have to find some colourful items to tone down the white a bit. And curtains would help too...
