DIY Farmhouse Table for $65

I was wanting a farmhouse table for my back porch. For only $65 of lumber I was able to recreate a $2000 Restoration Hardware table. I opted for pine to save on cost, but this can also be made in cedar to last outdoors much longer. It would also make a great indoor dining table.

Great job! If kept out of the weather, pine should work well for this. I giggled when I remembered a few years ago I wanted a 30x36" simple table for a breakfast room. I found a place that made tables and they wanted $2,000 for a small table! I know reclaiming wood is prized by many and I appreciate those who do it and those who want it for restoration. Otherwise, it is just used lumber! And unless it was designed and made by Frank Lloyd Wright, I can not imagine paying that for a ...»
simple table! I went and bought one at a big furniture store!

WOW! I need something like this on our back deck. It looks heavy enough to not blow over.

Thanks. We'll have to put this on our list. Maybe my next year we'll have time to make it.

Love, love, love this table! Hey, I have a quick question for you ladies. Does one of you have a brand new home? I thought I read at one point that you did. Well, if so, I would really like to chat with you on the floor plan. My Hubby and I are getting ready to build our home and I like the way you've done the finish work inside yours. I was afraid to build a home vs. buying an older one and fixing it up....honestly, because I didn't think I'd have anything to blog about with a new home. ...»
BUT, after reading your blog, I feel better knowing there are ALWAYS going to be projects to do. I'd love to chat if you have a minute. Thanks! xoxo

This is one of my favorites! I absolutely love this! I drool every-time.
I don't know if you realize that you, Anna and a few others have given women the courage to try to make furniture theirselves. Knowing other women can do it and giving easy to follow directions helps. I appreciate that a lot.
