Today I would like to share some pictures of my favorite piece of furniture in the entire Ha house... my coffee table. It was handmade by an old friend of ours.

One night, after a lovely meal together, I made an off-handed comment about how much I liked the old library table that his family used as a coffee table. Little did I know that my remark would inspire him to secretly began making me a table of my own.

Several months later, our friend showed up at our house with the table and a card. It read, "It makes me incredibly happy to know you can prop your feet up on a piece of me." I was completely overwhelmed.

To say that the table is beautiful is an understatement. The hand-hewn quarter-sawn oak top is absolutely gorgeous. And the craftsmanship... I would be hard-pressed to find a higher quality piece no matter how much money I was willing to spend.

The hubby and I found the drawers in an old shed behind my dad's house. They were in disrepair and our friend had taken them under the guise of "fixing them up" for us. I love how he incorporated them into the table.

This coffee table is one of the few pieces of furniture that I would deem irreplaceable. In fact, I often joke with the hubby that should a disaster strike our home, I would be found desperately trying to throw the thing through one of our large front windows. How I intend to pick up the behemoth all by myself remains to be seen.
It's your turn, dear readers. What is your favorite piece of furniture?
