Des, I love it. He did a fantastic job building that. Wish mine made furniture. Love the beefy legs and the wonderful patina of the wide planked boards on top. I also want the urn on the table. Love it.

Des, it is wonderful and that it has a story even more so. The color of the legs blends better with your glorious style. I am away on a trip but I found the perfect little old vintage kitchen island. It was in a barn and I am dying to get home and play with it. hugs, olive

Wow! I'm blown away! It looks like a very expensive antique farm table. Your husband is so talented! He could very well make furniture and sell it as a hobby after he retires (if he hasn't already). It looks perfect in your dining room along with the chairs that you already had. I wish my table looked like that. Enjoy!!

Hi Des,What a gorgeous table...I love everything about it!! The legs are fantastic! The finishing is just perfect...the dining room has never looked better! Great Handyman you have there!All the Best,Christine

Excellent, The Handy Man did a great job, well worth waiting for! Did you put anything on the top other than wax and was it light or dark? What colors on the legs? Six because that's what it took for the look you wanted? Share the details lady!

The table is so pretty!!! It reminds me of my dining room table but mine was bought because we can't build furniture!(ha!) Mine is pine & has the same type of legs but it's just the natural pine color. I love how you've painted it. It looks fabulous with the chairs too!

Love love love the table. I would love to see exactly how it was made. I want to make one using a vintage door and old porch posts but haven't found any plans on how to put it together. Kudos to your handyman.

This is just a gorgeous table!! I love, love, love the wood and how you finished it. I also LOVE the fabric and color your window treatments are. Did you buy them or make them and would you mind sharing the color?? Your dining room is gorgeous!

OMGoodness Des, your dinning is beautiful and I absolutely love your table! I have been wanting to make a farm table for my kitchen and now you have just inspired me. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day, Gail

Hi Des! Just found your blog through pinterest! I love your dining room! You and your handyman:) did a wonderful job on the table! It's gorgeous! I have a table similar but not as wonderful as yours! Where did you buy your dining chairs? I have been looking for the same ones? Thanks for sharing! Julie@jamnjilly@bellsouth.net

That table is so beautiful! I love the colors in your dining room. That is exactly my style. I have been wanting to make a dining room table for so long. Where did you find the old wood? Everything about is just lovely!

As you can see, I'm still browsing through your files! Now I have the post about the table that I can pin! Seriously in love with this piece! Do you mind sharing where the chairs are from- I mean beside heaven! lolxo Becca

Des, I have been admiring your table since you first posted about it and well I have FINALLY talked my hubby into replacing our dining table top. Do you know if your resident carpenter used biscuts to join the planks together or did he just glue them together?
