Awesome looking cabinet and table, congrats. Glad to hear you are finally able to get some use out of it. I have my grandmothers dining room set and it is also quite old, probably from the 40's and it still looks great. There is something about using old family heirlooms that I really enjoy. Me and the kids eat every meal on the dining room table that I grew up eating on as a kid when I visited my fathers parents which was all the time. My kids understand that one of them will have to take the set and use it when I am gone. I figure it should not be a problem having 4 kids as one of them will want it and it is still great looking. Hopefully one day you too will pass these items to your kids to keep in the family for generation after generation.
