homemade table

this morning i finally got around to snapping a few photos of the table i made about a month ago. and did i actually make it? yes. did i make the legs? no. i bought the plain, unfinished, just-turned table legs from an online company, osborne wood. then i bought the lumber from lowes, where i had them cut it to my measurements, bought some hardware, and put it all together and finished it (note: eric was going to seal and stain it, but being the project-control-freak that i am, i did it myself)!

so as you can see, it’s a rustic, counter-height, butcher block leg table! i LOVE it! 😀 even with the absence of chairs, it’s still nice to have somewhere to set grocery bags, etc. but i will admit, we can’t wait to be able to get chairs for it. then the pups won’t haggle for a choice begging position as we eat breakfast on the stairs!

in other news, i planted some tomato plants and flowers yesterday while eric weeded. i hope the plants don’t die! ::fingers crossed:: a bunch of my squash is growing as well as one pumpkin plant. hopefully other stuff will make an appearance soon, summer is almost here!
