Furniture Hunting : Report 4

I am a little embarrassed to blog about this but I just got to share!What was a trip to Grand Teak Furniture in Puchong to just drop off the railway slippers to replace the dining table legs ended up in ME making another purchase!I saw a beautiful console / buffet table that would fit perfectly at the dining area. Perfect for keeping place mats, coasters and even cutlery. I just got to have it the moment I laid eyes on it. I don't know if you ever had this feeling, it's like the moment you've laid eyes on something, it catches your eye and you know you've got to have it, it's yours!Well that is what happened to me! So let me introduce you to our latest teak buffet table that has joined our family!

So after scouting around Kedai Kaki Lelong in Kampung Kay Ara, we adjourned to Grand Teak in Puchong. You can check them out at here : http://grandteak.com

And we're glad we did so! They were having 70% off some of their furnitures and of course every piece caught our eye. As much as we would like to purchase each and every one, we settled for a very nice buffet table and a dining table WITHOUT chairs.
We felt that the buffet table that we choose had charactor. Beautiful carvings at each end and on each door panel. However, the dining table is rather plain. A friend of ours has suggested that we put metal or brass edgings on the four corners of the dining table to give it character.
