Last year around this time, Steven and I saw some men tearing down an old tobacco barn right down the road from our house. After a little inquiring, I found out that they were going to throw all the wood away, so I asked if we could take it off their hands. I am obsessed with old distressed wood (i.e. Restoration Hardware furniture). Steven decided that he would use the wood to build a traditional farmhouse table for our new dining room, which I was thrilled about! Below are some pictures of the process. Chairs to come soon!

| The beginning of the building process. Auburn engineering textbooks put to good use here...weighing down the table legs... Interesting story: We actually picked up those table legs at a yard sale for 50 cents each! Lowe's price: $16 each...abooyah! |

| Thanks, Steve! I love it! |
Steven is such a keeper! It's beautiful!
