Ron's Custom Table From Scrap Wood
by

(IC: professional)
As a person builds their thirty-sixth home, it gives that person pause as to what is truly important.
Size was not an issue. I wanted small, but not cramped. So the outside space would be part of our indoor space with a corrugated tin roof, old timber and vines flowering on the rafters.

Ron keeps most all our wood scraps from the building project for future stuff or for the wood stove.
I was a bit apprehensive to begin. I didn't want to take the chance of ruining what he had worked so hard to create.
As I designed this little house over looking the Idaho Rockies, one of my most favorite colors came from online with Ree Drummond (The Pioneer Woman) and her pretty dishes. Which I have.
I added a chess board on one end and a checker board on the opposite end. No electronic games or phones allowed. They are dropped in a basket before joining the fun.
I decoupaged pretty papers and painted smaller strips of paint with French restaurant stencils and antiquing to finish. I used a dark wax to buff and polish.
The little birch legged buffet is a fun and convenient counter top height serving table.
I added two coats of Spar Marine oil based varnish to provide years of outdoor wear.
Enjoyed the project?
