one thing I love about all the wonderful people blogging out there is that there is no shortage of amazing inspiration and the generosity of the same people sharing the how-to’s for said inspirations. Once again I fell victim to a must create over at Anna White’s Site. This narrow farmhouse table here, sent me into the garage once again to recreate the table. I even had a place for it!! Under the windows in the office, a perfect place for the kids to do homework and e near Jon and I when we are working in the office.
We made the legs out of reclaimed pallet wood, the top we bought the top and side boards. I sanded the crap out of the top to make it look as much like a solid piece as possible.
I stained the top and put 3 clear coats over the stain.
I painted the legs white, then I distressed the paint with a hand sander.
I did a top coat of Trewax mahogany wood wax.
Markers, colored pencils, a small light, plain paper, lilacs and lillies out the window, bring your imagination to this table and put it on the paper kids:
I do have chairs for the table that are in teh process of being reinvented…I will add a post about them when they are home….but here are a few more shots of the table:

Love this!! I’m going to do one for our homeschool room. Did you taper the legs? Or just leave them straight?
Hi! I just left the legs straight. Sorry for the late reply! I hope your school year is off to a great start!
Very nice. Where did you purchase the top? Is it a counter top?Thanks.
Thank you Ellen. We built the top. Then stained it and waxed the top.
Do you have directions on how to make this?
Not on this post but I am working on a post with directions and product list. Thanks!
Hi there – I saw this on Pinterest – can you tell me the dimensions?

That looks BEAUTIFUL!!!
Very nice. What stain did you use on the top?
Hi David, thanks! I used Varathane premiun wood stain in the color Black Cherry. I stained it and then lightly sanded it before doing 3 clear coats.
