Pottery Barn Benchwright Dining Table

Even as a little girl one of my favorite things was setting the table for Thanksgiving Dinner. I loved making the table look pretty! I would cutout personalized name-tags for each family member and occasionally I would write on the back what I was most thankful for about that person. When I saw this table I was quickly taken back to those childhood days. What a beautiful presentation this table would make for a fabulous Thanksgiving table this would make!

"Inspired by the bold, industrial character of an early 20th century work table that belonged to our designer's great grandfather, this piece becomes the centerpiece of the room. It is crafted from thick planks of birch that are meticulously weathered and distressed, then accented with grooves and saw marks to create the look of salvaged lumbar."

And I am so in love with the design and color arrangement of these plates!
