If you have been reading my blog over some time you would know how much I have been dreaming of getting a farm table for years! I love the look and feel of it and imagine having great family dinners or game nights or even using it for sewing projects. It has that rustic feel but can work beautifully in a modern, traditional, country, or eclectic style home. I plan to pair mine with the Eames Molded Plastic chairs I already own.
The table pictured above is from Restoration Hardware. You can find it here. It is made from salvaged wood and has an extension to seat up to 12 people. While I love the table it is far outside of my price range.
Then I found the amazing replica of this table pictured below from an article in Country Living magazine. Check out all of the pictures of the North Carolina couples home here. Believe it or not they made the farm table below for a mere $11.00! They were given the salvaged wood and only had to buy hardware to put it together. They used this plan. I am incredibly excited to make one myself, hopefully with my dad's help seeing that I don't have power tools. However, even if you don't you could always rent or borrow the tools. The only major thing you would need is a circular saw. This is going to be a summer project for me and will fit perfectly into our new home. We will be renting another place....not yet buying....but it has a lot of space and has potential for us to buy in the future. Of course the wheels have been turning for how to decorate the space. Much more on that later. For now I am on a mission to find some salvaged wood somewhere in Chicagoland!
