We need to figure out how to build a similar table and benches.

my idea for the table base started…

So our dining table is in progress…

Photo #1: the inspiration table, retailing for something like $14K.  It’s made with salvaged wood planks from the boardwalk.

Photo #2: The template.

Photo #3: Jason in the process of laying out the wood top.

Photo #4: As it stands right now.  The outer edges need sanding, and the whole top will end up distressed and stained a variety of different shades before its poly topcoat.

I’m so excited to see how it turns out!

The candelabra will go in the center of our table… I’m kind of over the faux flowers and vase.  Oh, and see the birch in the corner?  It was displaced from its spot in the living room by the orange capiz chandelier.  But I like it here, surprisingly!
