DIY Farmhouse Table with Extensions

Submitted by katie0910 on Tue, 11/05/2013 - 06:03

We built this farmhouse table a few months ago and absolutely love it. We modified the plans a bit based on another brag post and went with a replica of the Restoration Hardware table. I also built the chairs for the table based on the Parsons chair plans

Really nice job! This was quite an accomplishment, especially given that you guys did additional chairs (that look fantastic). Also, great job documenting on your blog.

Shirley Console Table - Modified

Absolutely loved this table when I saw the plans and knew it was exactly what we were looking for near our front entrance.  I got the wonderful idea from another builder on here (Kiely54, thanks!) who modified the drawer faces and used the amazing drawer pulls. My wife loved the drawer pulls so much we hunted them down at our local Menards.  This is the first time I have ever built a piece with drawers.  I was absolutely terrified about making and fitting the drawers, but it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought.  I have now learned how to do it and now I don't feel so limited about the pieces I build.  We modified the size to fit our area and we absolutely love the finished product!

I needed a place for all my gardening pots and planter boxes and this was a perfect solution. So with my dads help we built this shed.
