When we moved in to our house (we rent) the landlord had a circular kitchen table.  Since we didn’t have one we asked if he could let us use it.  He said he got it at a garage sale so he didn’t mind.  It worked great for us until we started sitting Isabel at the table with us.  It was only meant for 4 people.  So Tony and I decided to make a kitchen table.  Neither of us have ever done anything like that before.  So it was a new adventure for us. 

It turned out fabulous!  If I may say so myself, lol. 

Here are some pictures:

I don’t think we put grout on the table yet but you get the idea. I fits 6 people comfortably at the table. So that way when Max is old enough to eat with us we won’t have to worry about our table being too small.

Now all we have to do is make 6 chairs, oh my!  LOL!  The table only took a day to cut the wood and get it assembled. It was great too because Tony had all the tools needed to complete the project, some industrial equipment might have helped but it all turned out just fine.   It took a whole week to get it stained, tiled and grouted (is that a word).  I am really excited about the table.  It is super heavy and will be a pain so hopefully we will only have to move it one more time, that is if we don’t end up buying the house we are in.
