Blue Monday/Met Monday or the table that Dan built!

Welcome to my Met Monday/Blue Monday a double post thanks to Susan and Sally our two lovely hostesses. Please visit their beautiful blogs for more inspiring posts. Susan @ http://betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/ and Sally @ http://smilingsally.blogspot.com/

Several years ago I saw a picture in Yield House of a sofa table that I dearly wanted.


This is a similar photo of the one I saw. I showed it to Hubby to see what he thought. WELL... He took this pic to his workshop and with a little hammering, sawing and painting ........



Here's what I got! I still love my little blue table and the cost was a fraction of the one I sought from Yield House. He used Pine for the table and cherry wood for the top of it. Later, I hope to share more furniture that he has made for us. Thanks for stopping and have a wonderful week. Cindy

    Oh I love the table. How talented he is to make you such a treasure. I love the color also. It is so much nicer to have something that he made rather than something that you bought. A real treasure. Hugs, Marty

    Cindy, Your hubby did a fantastic job! And you know what, that table is even more special because you know the craftsman who made it! My husband loves to build, as well. I keep trying to get him to splurge and get the saw he is drooling over, but he continues to "make do". How wonderful to have access to a good shop. I Look forward to more Hubby construction! Linda

    Okay now this is not fair. Everyone's husband seems to be able to make furniture but mine. Cindy that table is gorgeous! I think I need to buy hubby some tools and a book about furniture building for Christmas! I love the pitcher with sunflowers. Is it Bennington pottery? Have a great day. Hugs, Loretta

    A table close to my heart. You are so darn special. Ok I just saw that you actually had a deer-head and a turkey on your walls? Who puts a turkey on the wall?....I guess they didn't have a good Thanksgiving LOL
