We built a table! We wanted a new one, lighter colored and longer for our space. So we made it. Starting with plans from Ana White for inspiration, then making it our own design. \u00a0It’s simple, sturdy, solid, and long. Did I say long? It’s 8 feet long. We can fit 4 people on a side without being too squished.<\/p>\n

Good for hiding under. Those legs are 4x4s.<\/p>\n

And for climbing on? Well, it’s new. They were exploring.<\/p>\n

Nice big screws that hold the legs on. The legs can be taken off for moving if necessary.<\/p>\n

I found some new chairs at the thrift store, and at this point had sanded and painted and polycrylic’d one chair.<\/p>\n

Two more chairs done. They’re sort of “shabby chic” – meaning I painted and then sanded some off and scuffed them a bit. Then applied the polycrylic to give them some protection from further scuffing or staining. They’re easy to wipe clean.<\/p>\n

And then Eric made a bench out of a huge chunk of cedar and some 4x4s. It fits one full side of the table and seats as many as want to squash on there – I think we could probably fit 6 kids for birthday cake.<\/p>\n

This table gives us room to spread out for art projects or homeschooling, and we can push projects aside and still have space to eat lunch if we need to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
