THE PLAN for the new kitchen was to have a big ole table. One that would easily hold family and friends for spontaneous or long planned meals together. My Loving Spouse went to fetch it.
Rough sawn lumber from across town…$129.00
He disappears into his workshop to begin the build.
If you think he doesn’t have the tools….think again.
My Loving Spouse can build anything, (although he says he is not taking orders for anymore tables). He builds the table base top.
…then sands it for a few days, and makes some legs.
It will be too big and heavy to move around, so we need to assemble it in the kitchen.
We haul all the pieces over, protect the floor and get busy.
Don’t you love the mallet My Loving Spouse also made? I know, Handy as Pockets!
A few whacks and taps…
…and then…tada…
‘Some people’ are so dramatic.
Perfect….except, don’t you find it a bit, how shall I say….brown? It is just not quite right. So I paint the pew… with 3 coats of paint.
…painted pew, oh be still my heart. I never did like that color brown. We get a few things up on the walls, make a few pillows and argue discuss, how much better black ladder back chairs would be.
For now, we’re home (thank you COVID-19), grateful and very blessed.
Beautiful! I LOVE it 😍
That is incredible! I LOVE it 😍!
Thanks, Sis!
That is a mighty fine looking table and benches! It is just waiting for a large gathering! And I agree that ladderback chairs will pull it all together!
Happy Easter!
