But when I attached the table to the base I was at a loss. So I came up with the idea of using wood cleats. These cleats attached to the apron and then to the tabletop using wood screws… no oversized holes and washer and no hardware that allowed the wood to expand and contract… so 7 years later my table was wavy!
If you have been following along with me on Instagram you know I have recently been completed making over my patio and when we demo’d the old patio I saved the wood in hopes of repurposing it one day. Well, once the new patio was finished I knew that I wanted to have a dining table out their for dinner parties once the the weather gets a little nicer… so that is what I set out to do.
I recently built a knockoff of Restoration Hardware stacked dining table for a client that I thought was really awesome and wanted to share how you could make one for yourself for about $100. So if you are looking for a small, modern, budget friendly, AWESOME dining table keep reading!
Sometimes I question if doing this business is worth it. The long hours, the wondering where the next job will come from, the not so glamorous wardrobe that I wear all the time, the messy hair/no makeup look..... and then I sit down and review all the things I built in 2017. Yes, yes, yes it was all worth it!!! I can't believe I get to and was able to make so many awesome things!!!!
I love making dining tables because it is the piece of furniture that a family is going to use everyday together. They are going to make memories there. So I make my tables sturdy and durable to last a lifetime with the family. I like rustic finishes that only get better with time. One of my favorite builds and best sellers is a farmhouse table. There are so many different ways to build a farmhouse table. You can have straight legs, X legs, or turned legs. My favorite are turned legs for a farmhouse table. They add that perfect amount of curvy goodness to the table. I also like that the legs don't get in the way of the chairs, meaning leg room for everyone!!!
