I just discovered you!
I just discovered your blog via Shanty 2 Chic and love it!! I have one question though, can you please tell me the color of your grey/blue room at the top of this post? I love it and think it would look great in my dining room!
Thank you so much!

love the table and found the wheels
Found the authentic vintage wheels at local coaster factory . They were in the back room ..Supplier no longer makes them . We scored them for 41.00 swivel to boot a great bargain.
Has any one tried any kind of stensiling on the tables . I was thinking something to give it a vintage crate look ?

Its good to see that you put
Its good to see that you put casters in your furniture. It will make your furniture more efficient to use and can help you easily move it wherever you want to place it.

Some Help on the Coffee Cart Table
I need a bit of help with this project. When the boards that go on top are laid down side by side as the plans call for, the width produced is more than the length of the supports. Any idea what I could be doing wrong?
