I still want to find some cheap chairs from goodwill or something to refinish or cover. But we have a real table now....I'm so excited. Our first meal on it was fajitas...and it worked perfect :)

A New Dining Experience
So ever since we moved into this townhouse, we haven't had a "real" dining room table. Mostly because our dining room is so small, a normal size table wouldn't fit in there, and we didn't want to spend a few hundred on a set that we most likely wouldn't use in the future, because it was so small. So finally I convinced hubby to help me build a table. It was a fraction of the cost, we could get the perfect size we wanted for our space...and it was fun! So finally, after a few Saturdays and thanks to a "snow day" weekend, we got it done! Here it is....I'm so proud!

Jo, that looks great! How did you build it?
With mad skill. Ok, not really! It was actually really simple. We just got a big sheet of birch plywood, cut it out the shape we wanted, then with the rest of the sheet we cut out the side-dealios (technical term of course), the posts were just 4x4 fence posts! Just cut them down to size....stain...assemble!
It's SO SO cute!!!! I totally love it! You did a GREAT job on it! So... when are you coming to my house to help me refinish my table?
HOORAY!!!! I love it! Amazing job - I can't wait to see it in person!
I totally want to find you some sweet Goodwill chairs that we can paint then get some Amy Butler fabric and recover... it would be amazing. I love your projects, GO JO!
Hope you're feeling better!!
(I just counted 9 !'s in this note, I'm going to have to watch that)
