My New (To Me) Table

A year ago or so my husband and I were talking about putting a small bar in our kitchen where the laptop could sit and the kids could play computer games. There was some discussion about what we wanted it to look like and, long story short, we decided on metal. Tin, to be more precise. I wanted something really rustic with nail heads and scratches and dents showing and adding character. Well, we also needed a new table. The one we had we bought 12 years ago when we got married. At a garage sale. For 20 dollars. It was pretty sad. But I didn't want a big formal table. That just isn't me. So, we decided to take the same idea we had for the bar and do a table to match.

So, with a free table from Dave's grandma's house and some tin from a roofing supplier, Dave made me this amazing piece of art. I LOVE IT!!! He painted the legs and even picked out the paint himself. He did awesome. I love that he will just take my crazy ideas and bring them to life.







BEST HUSBAND IN THE WORLD!!! Up next - a built in bench on the two sides where the wall are. I can't wait!!

Love it! Is it super easy to clean? What is he going to use to make the benches?

Vanessa- it is super easy to clean. Nothing really sticks to it. I am hoping the benches will be white breadboard or something with a similar feel?
