I am so excited about what I'm about to post! Greg and I have been procrastinating buying a dining room table for four years now! We can never agree, or the one we do agree on is way too expensive or it's just right but it's the wrong finish, or it doesn't seat enough people...it's always something. So for the last 4 years, our poor guests have been dining in our living room around the coffee table. Well, I found the perfect table! It's totally us! It's from Restoration Hardware and it only costs $2725.00

Yes...I said two thousand, seven hundred and twenty five dollars! And chairs aren't even included! But isn't it beautiful!?!


Would you like to know what my husband said when he saw it? "I can build that!"

And build it he did!








We stained it the exact color we wanted...

I found these great chairs on craigslist for $25 for all four of them...


Gave them a couple of coats of black spray paint (of course I did)...

AND...

Our dining room is finally complete! I'm in heaven! I can't stop looking at it!




And some homemade (super easy to make) mossy spheres finish it off just right!

He is so talented! I had no idea he had such mad carpentry skills! Now that I do however, I have a whole list for the poor man of things I'm going to have him build for me! Including the beautiful square tray you see sitting on that ottoman. I've been wanting it for years but can'y justify forking out $70 for a tray and I can't seem to find anything quite like it anywhere else.


Tomorrow we'll be picking up a couple these gorgeous ladies to go on each end of the new table. Only ours do not cost $399 each like these ones. Try more like $45...for two!
