OUR FIRST BUILD!!! The Dining Room Table

I am so proud of my husband and soo happy he deals with me!!

I came across a website that is amazing!!  www.ana-white.com

There are plans, pictures to pretty much anything you want to build in your home.

I went crazy, I have a whole list of items that I am having Shawn build for me.  First being our dining room table, since a lot of our stuff is still in AL in storage, I am trying to replace a lot of it so its less we have to bring back, one of the things was the dining room table.

This was my inspiration picture...



Now here is what we came up with from that...Step by step on the build.

Devin and Shawn starting on table


Finished, before stain and paint

Mike and Shawn added legs, we started out with the 2x4's like the directions said but then Shawn found these legs, so we are trying them....not 100% sold yet on them (think they may be to skinny for the size of the table), but I am giving it a little while before I make my final decision...we can always go back to a 2x4 or a 4x4 leg.

Finished Product

Finished
I love the table!!  

I am still looking for chairs that can go with the table better, but mine that I already have will work for now.....

Total Cost.....drum roll please 

About $70 after all is said and done!!

Now onto the next project....outside picnic table with benches.  Will post when finished.

  1. Ricks in CHICAGO and I sent him a pic of the table from the website.... I think I want one with the benches and all, smaller for my kitchen area so the benches can disappear under the table when not used.... I don't have a large area in kitchen for a table so we just use our dining area BUT the table we do have in there is NOT working.. I like it a lot!!! THANKS FOR SHARING... I just updated info on my blog and thought I would see what was up with you guys!!
