Farm Table 101

 I wasn't happy with my dining room table....

It was round, dark oak, and although I had white chairs

And a beautiful lace tablecloth.....it was still dark wood.

Even I cannot paint beautiful wood....just the ugly stuff

That has lost it's life and beauty along the way.

When I came across this wonderful farm type table in a past

Issue of Country Living....well, I was in love.

After reading the article, I found this was actually Rachael Ashwell's table.

I'm assuming it was actually old, but it didn't matter to me....

I wanted one like it.....this was what I had been searching for.

I hung the picture on the fridge for several months.

I showed it to my sweet man....he said he could do it.

I keep enforcing the fact I wanted old wood used.

You know, scraps we had and the more beat up the better.

He didn't get that part, but he never has :)

Still, he followed my lead and built me what I had envisioned.

I have gathered mismatched chairs and

Still have to paint them various colors of white,

But, it is still the look I wanted.

Perfect for big family dinners

With no fear of water marks or damage

As this just makes it look better and better.

I'm also in the process of switching china cabinets and wall decor,

So the entire room results will come later....

For now, I'm just lovin' my table.
