My husband and I took the Narrow Farmhouse Table and modified it for a school table for our children. We used two old doors we had left over from remodeling our 1925 craftsman home. One door is the top, and the rest is lumber culled from the other door. A fun, free, one-day project.
Built from Plan(s)
Estimated Cost
Free (glass top - $75)
Estimated Time Investment
Afternoon Project (3-6 Hours)
Finish Used
Paint. We sanded the paint already on the door and stained the bare wood to add contrast.

Did you put a glass top on
Did you put a glass top on this to make a flat surface? I was thinking that the recess in the center would make a good place for displaying artwork, etc. under glass.

glass
Yes, the kids will be using the table for school, so we needed a flat surface. The inset from the door will have all kinds of fun things placed in it throughout the year!
