Last week I told you I’d post a dining room table tutorial on Monday. Today is Wednesday so I lied. As it turns out, I also didn’t create a step-by-step tutorial, only the Ana White plan that I followed to an almost-T. So I guess I double lied. Forgive me twice. This was my first woodworking […]

    This is wonderful and beautiful. I’ve always wanted to try to build ‘something’ on my own. BTW, I found you from a twitter post you hubby posted.ReplyCancel

    I would like to have the brochure about the farm table and the total price. I would like to learn how to make the farm table It is really very lovely Thanks from Linda WiseReplyCancel

      Hi Linda! I don’t have a brochure, but I link to the tutorial I followed in the blog. If you’re not able to find it, you can google Ana White Modern Farmhouse Table and you should be good. I would say I spent between $150 and $200 on this project. If you already have a pretty stocked tool shed and a stain you love, you could do it for even less.ReplyCancel

    I absolutely love this. It’s so inspiring to see someone make a project that I’ve pinned for months.

    Whenever I get wood cut at Home Depot, the edges are always VERY rough and unevenly splintered. Did you encounter this at all? I’m about to break down and buy my own saw.ReplyCancel

      Hi Hannah! Thank you and YES…plenty of splintered ends. I just use my palm sander to even them out (course grit paper). I purchased a miter saw very recently and I tell you, it’s a game changer. Lowe’s has a Kobalt saw fornunder $150. Good luck to you!ReplyCancel

    What kind of wood did you use? The table looks amazing!ReplyCancel

      Thank you! I appreciate that. I used Lowe’s “Top Choice” pine. It’s the cheapest option 😬. Very sturdy, though.ReplyCancel

Today I didn’t want to do anything. Or go anywhere. Or talk to anyone. And I was doing a really good job of it until husband hit me with “you’re gonna take the kids somewhere, right”? I thought about saying “nah, bro” and going about my search for the perfect wood staining technique. But then I […]

Every spring break we make a family trip to the rodeo, complete with the whole cowboy get-up. And every spring break I take the boys out for a day trip to the beach. Last week, the big boys informed me that they no longer want to wear cowboy gear to the rodeo. Well, one of the […]
