From our NEW Farm Table to yours....

Approximately 3 months ago Q and I ventured on a quest to "build" our own farm table. We had been eyeing them both online and in stores and couldn't believe how expensive these pieces of furniture were. Then, one day I came across a site that had all the plans for building your own rustic furniture and I got really motivated to do this! Especially since, Q's dad Jeff has all the tools & a shop for us to use to build it! So, we started this endeavor and along the way have learned to have a whole new appreciation of furniture because it's a lot of work! We had zero experience and made some mistakes along the way but hey isn't that how you learn!?!?

After many hours, sweat and brushes, I am proud to say that the final coats of polyurethane went on last week and now the table is nestled into our quaint dining room. We both keep walking by it in amazement that we built this thing! We still have to add a few finishing touches such as chair cushions and 2 chairs for the ends, but it really is beautiful! We created a simple table riser with some leftover wood that we cut wrong at the beginning from the legs - Win! Then I found a really neat lantern, filled it with wine corks and a turquoise candle.

So even though there aren't any recipes on this post I thought it would be appropriate to share our new farm table with you!

Enjoy!
