I have good news and bad news. Good news is that there was an eyewitness account of how Bill got the grape from Univ of Arkansas. Also, good news is that I didn't get overly specific with a lot of details related to me. I am so glad I didn't write down on the internet everything I was told, from what I thought was a very authoritative source! I include the link below to a poster called LonRom, and he is the eyewitness. Bad news is, that my info in 2008 is apparently grossly in error. I will chalk it up to medication side-effects, old age, failing memory, and maybe one too many apricot brandies when swapping war stories. Bill died about 5 years after I met him. I can no longer go to the source. Rest in Peace, Bill my friend! Here is a link that might be useful: LonRom's eyewitness account

That's where I'm struggling, it's hard for us to do everything at once so we will probably have to replace one thing at a time...As much as I would love to do it all now lol. It is a work in progress but we are trying to at least have a plan so we know what we will get when we can get it. I'm not not good at this. The coffee table looks a little worse in person because it is really old and it doesn't while up well. My daughter does have a habit of doing art, eating snacks and spilling apple juice and you can tell and it's pretty noticeable as much as we try to scrub it lol

Both are way too large for the scale of your kitchen. They will overbear the space and give you very poor lighting for a working kitchen, which seems in this photo to be very dark. Looks like you have 8 ft ceilings, some slop and a recessed area? I would really think about 3 ft fixture over a 5 ft space . this will make you feel like the room is even smaller.................I wouldn't put pendants in this room AT ALL.............

Unless we know more its like playing darts blindfolded. Pictures, color scheme, favorite design style. Plus room size and number of diners.
