Ana-White??

Before I start blogging about tutorials I have done I want to tell you a little about our little home. My husband and I purchased our first home 4 years ago. It was and still is a fixer upper, with the help of my in-laws we fixed it enough to move in. It took 3 days to replace carpets, paint, lay down linoleum tiles, and move furniture. Oh and did I mention clean!!! I was 8months pregnant with Ferny when this was all going on so I had to sit on the sidelines. Since moving in we have knocked down a wall to open up the kitchen and replaced most of floor in the living room and dining room with ceramic tile. . We have tons of other projects for this house and I'm hoping to blog about those soon.

Now onto some contents in my house. I have been wanting a new dining room table for years, but could never find the right one. Either my style or in the budget. Finally I was online and came across  Ana-White. She has tons of plans to make your own affordable furniture. I have a slew of things added to my already huge TO DO LIST. It took a while to convince my husband that building a table would be much cheaper than buying one. It came out great and I love it even more since it was handmade. Enough of me blabbing check out our photos...

Here is the husband cutting boards. DUH, right?

HIm and his brother staining the sides before attaching them.

Attaching the top boards

Needs sanding and then stain!!

I chose Jacobean for the stain and I LOVE it!!



Added the top coat.



I hope you enjoyed our mini roll of pictures. We have yet to make the benches that go with the table, but it will happen VERY soon.  To get the plans for this table click here. I hope you all enjoy Ana-White as much as I have. Come back and check out my next post on matching shelves for this table.
