DIY: DINING TABLE

When we moved into this house, I knew that we were going to be needing
a new dining table. We had long outgrown our little four seat table. Instead of spending
a ton of money, I decided that I would try and find a fixer-upper.

So, I did. After months of searching Craigslist ads I found this little gem.

It was exactly what I wanted...almost. It needed a lot of help. I refinished it after many, many
hours. I think we bought it at the end of July and I have myself a goal to finish by Thanksgiving...I made my goal with a week to spare. Haha

I used the technique from Young House Love found here.

Here's the Before:
