New Table...well sort of.
There is a table we've wanted to buy for a while now and we had planned to save up for it. That said, it's been six months now and not a penny saved for it (too many other items higher on our priority list). So I decided to try to get the same look with our existing table. It's obviously not exactly the same but I think it turned out pretty darn close (?) Anyway, it's much better than it was and I am much happier with it.
Here is what I had to work with. It has a very similar shape. However, the color wasn't my favorite and the top had some major wear. Fortunately, it was fairly simple to sand. It only took a couple days from start to finish.

Here she is after I sanded, stained, waxed (I wanted a very natural wood look), and painted (the bottom of the bench).

I think it looks better then the Restoration Hardware one...the bench fits perfectly. You have a great eye. Miss you!
Awesome! It looks terrific! I should have asked you this when you were still living close, but did you ever take any classes in Interior Design? Or is this all stuff out of your head? You really have a knack for this-- you would make tons of money as a home designer and decorator. (Not that you don't have enough on your plate right now without that!)
Kristi, You're amazing! I love all of these projects you're doing. Your house looks great. It also makes me excited to start residency. I keep hoping we'll be able to get a little house that we can decorate.
