I also wanted to go with a lighter chair color to continue to brighten up the room along with our new farmhouse table. So we sold the oak Windsor chairs to buy dining chairs with a smaller profile and would fit under the farmhouse table well. You can only fit so many of those large chairs around the table & we needed to fit as many as possible for large dinner parties. He similarly cut the dining table leaves down as well with our table saw.Īnother thing that was way too big for our new dining room were our Windsor chairs. We decided to narrow it just enough that Jason wouldn’t have to move a lot of the supporting wood on the bottom of the table (legs, side boards, etc) around…essentially we were just cutting off the overhang of the table on the width side from 4 1/2 inches to 1 inch. That’s 3 1/2 inches of Thanksgiving dinner girth that can now squeeze behind someone seated at the table. I know it doesn’t seem like much but it makes a big difference. Jason first took our farmhouse table apart & took off about 3 1/2 inches on each side for a total of 7 inches off the width of the table.

The dining room was not big enough to keep the leaves in it anymore…. Then we moved to the Suburban Split & our new Broyhill Attic Heirlooms dining table was way too big for our new dining room. It fit perfectly in our old dining room & was delivered in 3 days or less 🙂 just time for our big family Christmas dinner of 20 people. I found this oak Broyhill Attic Heirlooms dining table & fell in love with it. I had always wanted a large farm/ harvest table that would fit a lot of people & still look great. Jason & I bought our former Broyhill Attic Heirlooms dining table soon after we moved into The Town Traditional.
