Our Rustic Industrial Farmhouse Table

We made a table!! We are very proud. Hubs and I worked super hard on this beauty. From buying the materials to eating our first meal on it was eight days. Not bad since we are total amatures with wood working! (Did I mention hubs also replaced our electrical panel during those eight days!? That’s a whole other story, blah).

We very loosly followed a couple different tutorials on Pinterest but really we made the designed ourselves since we wanted something to reflect our home’s vibe, but also fit our budget.

We started buy selling our old table and chairs to give us capitol (a budget) to work with, sure that meant being without a table and chairs for a couple weeks while we planned and executed the project but, meh! Caidoc thought it was a lark, and to be honest, it wasn’t too much of a pain. It also meant we were “earning” our project so to speak, which is important for me since I like to get carried away with my DIYs 🙂

I’m gonna warn you, those tutorials make it look easy, and we didn’t have all the tools they all kept saying you should have (does anyone!? Seriously who can afford all those?) So beprepared to spend more money than those pins advertise.

All the consternation aside, I’m proud to say we made it within our budget ($110) and even got the exact look we wanted. I think we might make some tweaks but, honestly, I love it. And most importantly, we can now have much more people over for a sit down dinner! Yay!

Ta-da!!
