Make Your Own Farm Table (It’s All In The Legs!)

It is no secret that I am a Leg Girl.

People on the moon know this.

It is also no secret that I am a thrifty (cheap) thing.  I have always been pretty conservative with money because it’s the smart thing.  But the biggest reason I am thrifty when it come to my home and the pieces I choose to have in it is because My tastes change.  If I invest in mint in one single piece I feel like I have to live with that piece until The Rapture comes.

Get it?

Having a shop of my own does afford me some wiggle room though.  If I am ever seduced my the latest thing ( on sale of course ). I can always sell it’d predecessor .  Over the years I have become pretty good at the ‘Decor Fad Work Around’.  In other words, there is a knockoff for almost everything.

Today’s Victim:

I try my best to keep a dining table of some kind in my shop.  The sell really well.  Moreover, I can not lay off the china so I need a place to display the stuff and an actual dining table its perfect for it.  My last table (with four chairs) sold in five days so I was in a bit of rush to find another.  You can not beat an oak 6 top with good legs, especially at this price.

Lord.

Look!!!

I painted the legs as soon as I hit the door with the table and I sanded down that oak veneer top (CAREFULLY)  while they were drying.

This Barn Wood -esque finish is becoming a trademark around  this house.  I just love how Annie Sloan Dark wax settles in to every nook, cranny and imperfection.

and it repels water like a Boss.

Now The After:

I had the most fun styling theses photos!

I LUUUUUV this one!  We delivered it down to my shop this morning and the initial reviews are really good :).  Big Daddy and I put the legs back on ( no table will fit in to my Jeep with the legs on)  and he wandered around the antique store while I styled the top down there as well 🙂

It does not take much to make me happy.

Once again…..Brown transferware screams Fall to me.

As does this Oakleaf hydrangea.  I love the colors they turn in the Fall.  They can stand alone as a centerpiece I tell you.  No blooms necessary.

I paid $39 for the table but the legs were worth that alone.

Even if you have to buy the sander and the wax and paint you will have less Tham $150 in this 60″ Farm table that seats six no problem.  Google 60′ Farm Table and you are in that one for way more.

You are welcome 🙂
