After waiting for months
and months
the resident handy man
finally had time to
make me a dining room table.
I still have to pinch myself because
it doesn’t seem real!!!!
The top is made from
old wood and
the
legs are made of
new pine.
After the handyman got
the table assembled
I got busy
mixing up the paint and
then started
painting……
the table legs were
painted with six different colors.
I just adore all the imperfections
in the top…..and
love that it has a story!
Just another
view in
different lighting….
The table top
has
three coats of wax……..
A little reminder
of
what the dining
room
looked like before.
And now the after……

Des, I love it. He did a fantastic job building that. Wish mine made furniture. Love the beefy legs and the wonderful patina of the wide planked boards on top. I also want the urn on the table. Love it.
Oh how gorgeous. I love your table, so pretty. The rustic top with the beautiful turned legs and your fabulous chairs is stunning. Wow, he did a great job. Hugs, Marty
Your table turned out gorgeous, Des! I love how you left the top and painted the base.
what a great table....and just think will be something to pass down to next generation.....your a lucky lady!!
Des, it is wonderful and that it has a story even more so. The color of the legs blends better with your glorious style. I am away on a trip but I found the perfect little old vintage kitchen island. It was in a barn and I am dying to get home and play with it. hugs, olive
Wow! I'm blown away! It looks like a very expensive antique farm table. Your husband is so talented! He could very well make furniture and sell it as a hobby after he retires (if he hasn't already). It looks perfect in your dining room along with the chairs that you already had. I wish my table looked like that. Enjoy!!
Hi Des,
What a gorgeous table...I love everything about it!! The legs are fantastic! The finishing is just perfect...the dining room has never looked better! Great Handyman you have there!
All the Best,
Christine
Your table is beautiful. I love the look of white distressed next to bare wood.
Beautiful table - perfect for the room and the chairs. Looks fabulous and well worth the wait. Enjoy!

Excellent, The Handy Man did a great job, well worth waiting for! Did you put anything on the top other than wax and was it light or dark? What colors on the legs? Six because that's what it took for the look you wanted? Share the details lady!

Absolutely gorgeous, Des! You must be in heaven!

So aren't you lucky to have a resident handyman to make such a beautiful table. Ahhh, the room looks so gooooood.
STUNNING... capital S... I think it is perfection... in fact, if you looked up the word "perfection" in the dictionary it would have a photo of your table!

The table is so pretty!!! It reminds me of my dining room table but mine was bought because we can't build furniture!(ha!) Mine is pine & has the same type of legs but it's just the natural pine color. I love how you've painted it. It looks fabulous with the chairs too!
Love, love, love it. It's such a substantial piece, and the finish is beautiful. I love your room, period!
So beautiful! I couldn't pin it fast enough! Many kudos from another Kansas blogger!
Oh my. LOVE the table. It's absolutely perfect:)
Gorgeous Table, I am so envious! Had to see the whole room when I saw the thumbnail at Kim's Party. Its perfect!

Love love love the table. I would love to see exactly how it was made. I want to make one using a vintage door and old porch posts but haven't found any plans on how to put it together. Kudos to your handyman.

des what wax did u use on this?
All the details are beautiful in your dining room!
Des, I have been admiring your table since you first posted about it and well I have FINALLY talked my hubby into replacing our dining table top. Do you know if your resident carpenter used biscuts to join the planks together or did he just glue them together?
Where did you find the legs?????? I have been looking for some like this!
I LOVE the change! Beautiful table! The room is so much more elegant with that scale and finish table!
What a stunning Dining Room table! I am definitely pinning this one. Looking to create a new dining room table myself in the near future.

Do you have dimensions for the table? And a source for the legs (as in where to buy them)?
Your dining room is gorgeous and your new table is just beautiful! ... rdiningtables.blogspot.com
