Most of you know that my vision for our dining area is to have one, long table where as many as 16 can be seated. We've made do for the past (almost!) eight years by setting two or three tables in a row but it's never been my ideal. Scott and I have had many discussions about how he simply must build me the perfect table with lumber harvested from noTTafarm's own trees and a base that he designed. This table has taken its first step toward reality with the purchase of . . .
. . . two vintage, steel industrial table legs!
We were at A&R Salvage on Friday, in search of something else (story to come) when we saw a selection of industrial table legs. We couldn't resist this set. Even though they are solid steel and heavy as heck, the thin profile and elegant curves are going to add a lot of style to our dining room.
Now we just need to figure out how to make the whole thing go together. We may use some of the planks milled from the locust tree we removed to build the great room addition, and Scott may figure out a way to make the table expandable. I'm just hopeful that it won't take (almost!) eight more years to complete.
Stay Tuned for Our Next Adventure!
