Just so you all don't think we've been total slackers about the house lately...here are some shots of our new table. I'd been looking for months for a table about 8 feet long and fairly narrow. I wanted it to go against the long wall in our living room...2 lamps on either end, my red bowl in the middle. I had it all planned out, just couldn't find the table. Well, I did find a couple---one for $1,200 and one for $900 for very rustic tables. So, I happened upon this great little shop in Dalton while cold calling one day. Got this table---great solid wood top, 8 feet long...for $160!!! Amazing! So, we're working on re-finishing it right now...
The before (we used this table to serve on for our 4th party)...
View of the top---just needed some sanding!
Brooke sands (of course it required him to buy a new sander for the project)!
And sands...
And now the top is done and new legs are on. It's just waiting for me to paint! We're going to paint the bottom part and legs in Brookefield Moss by Benjamin Moore. The top will be stained and polyurethened in the Old English like our front door. I'll keep you updated on the progress!
