Dining Room Table Plans
Is it weird that I already know what I want for Christmas? Because I totally do. In fact, I’ve already placed my order.
Yep, on top of everything else my hubby has to do, I’ve placed my order for a new dining room table.
I was a bit thrilled and really shocked that he didn’t totally dismiss the my idea the second it left my mouth.
Here’s what I’m thinking:

Stunning, right?
He could even build it like this if he wanted too!

Either way, I think they’re completely lovely. And because Anthony is a welder by trade, he’ll get to use his skills and build the frame and ends out of metal.
Just like our laundry room table, I’m planning on doing a thick wood top. The only thing that I have left to decide is the stain. I can’t decide if I should do a fruitwood stain (much like the first picture) or a white wash pickling, which looks like this:

I’m sure I’ll have to play around with it once we have the wood ready and the table built.
In the mean time, I’m enjoying these pictures… which only make me even more excited!

I am so excited about it. But I know what you’re thinking… What’s wrong with our current dining room table?
The answer is: Nothing! We bought it when the house was finished. I’ve always like it, but I’m super in love with the idea of having a hand built dining room table by my hubby. How cool is that?
Plus, the dining room is getting ready to have a whole bunch of changes. It still looks the same as before, but only because everything that I want to do takes planning and building by my hubby. Remember my plan for the dining room shelving? It’s still happening too. Now, I’m trying to figure out what color to stain the wood for the shelving. I don’t want anything to matchy matchy.
I can’t wait!
Can not wait to see it! Your hubby rocks for agreeing to make you one.
I can’t wait to see it either… I’m practically giddy about it! I’m totally telling my hubby what you said too… I tell him daily, but I don’t think he believes me anymore! 😉

Sounds awesome! My hubby made end tables for our living room for me…both a tad different and exactly what I wanted…and I agree…I love them so much more knowing they were made with love for me!
I can’t wait… I get super excited thinking that we’ll be using a table he made! Love that! 🙂

Not at all! And something for the home is just about always on the top of my list! I think I like that pickled look for your place. Either way, I know it’ll be beautiful!!
Thank you, Shannan! I am so excited about it… Generally anything home related is at the top of my list too!
I’m leaning toward the pickling too… 🙂

GORGEOUS! Do you think he’d make me one too?? …if I smiled nicely??
THANK YOU so much, Alice! I am really looking forward to it!
And I might sweet talk him into making one for you too… You might have to smile real big! 😉

Wow! You have really shown us that wooden table could also look great in any type of dining room with some effort in designing the rest of the area.
THANK YOU so much, Sarah! I sure love those tables! 🙂
