Our Beautiful Dining Room Table

My son created this beautiful table for our dining room. It's exactly what I wanted. More of a rustic top, square, seating for 8. He designed the pedestal -- and it's gorgeous.

You can see many more beautiful things he has crafted on his website: http://smithbuild.weebly.com/

Another Chalk Paint Transformation

This is the before and after of what is going to be my coffee bar in the new house. Removing the door, replacing a couple of the drawers with baskets, and updating the hardware really spiffed it up!

The top of this piece isn't even wood. It's some kind of laminated surface. The chalk paint shows the brush strokes, but I like it that way! It just adds to the look.

I'm not going to show you what this looks like in the new house yet, because I'm not quite finished staging it. That will be for a future post....
