DIY- A New Table

This weekend, Mario and I got to work on the re-design of downstairs. We kicked the project of by building ourselves a new kitchen table! Now everyone thought we were crazy, but the table turned out great, and costs less than $100 in supplies (although going to Home Depot costs us another $200 because we found all kinds of other stuff to buy :) ) But even with the extra purchases, it beats the price tag on purchasing an almost identical table from west elm .


As you can see in the pictures, we still have to varnish the table and build the bench to go with it.

And then, to break the table in and to finish off the weekend on a high note, we got together with for a bar-b-que with the neighbors (we lucked out in the neighbor category- they're great!)
