LOOK What I Made!!

I built a kitchen table! Yeah! It was quite a project, but actually not that hard! I am not sure about the style for our house, although it is called the Farmhouse Table, and well, we do live in a farm house, so it should work for us. We will try it for a while anyway!I got the plans from knockoffwood.blogspot.com, Ana is amazing at her building skills. She takes pieces from Pottery Barn and other more expensive places and draws up plans that are easy for people like me (who are not builders). I was a little nervous at first putting the legs together, I wasn't sure I was going to really love it, but once I got that top on, It all came together and turned out awesome! I totally recommend Ana's plans to anyone!

Now the hard part is picking out the stain color, I know what I like, but it doesn't really match with the rest of the kitchen, so we will see. Also I am making two benches for each side and then I will get the x back chairs from Ikea for the ends.
Total cost so far $89 bucks!!! The only thing I still have to afford is the stain, and then the bench materials, pretty good deal I think! Now if I could just get some help to get it into the house???? AND check out our LOVELY Idaho weather! It has been so nice for a change! I think I got a sunburn while I was out sanding for hours! Well worth it! Kiley I think we need to build one for you during the Sister reunion!!

It looks so good! It seems like it came together really quick. How long did it take you? I'd love to build me one, but how would I get it back to Nebraska?

I am totally ALWAYS drooling over stuff I want to make from that blog BUT I KNOW I cannot. You may have just inspired me:) I almost got my keys and headed to Home Depot, but then I remembered that I have no idea what I am doing-HaHA!!
