Top of the Morning to Ya

The tabletop has been installed in the breakfast nook.  It's made out of maple, the only thing in the kitchen that is.  I'm not entirely sure if I love the blonde wood against the yellow walls, but we'll see how I feel once we get the benches stained.

The leg is cast iron and reminds me of the cafe table legs in France.  We are definitely mixing in different styles and periods in this part of the kitchen, but no need to make the house an Arts and Crafts museum!

Tabled

I've been meaning to post this picture for months.  Sigh.  I'm slow.  All that bare dirt is now covered by my nemesis Bermuda grass.

ANYWAY, this is the gardening table Rob build me out of the pallet the siding for the house came on.  We got the idea from a coffee shop down the street and it has worked out great!

Creative Reuse

This is the wood that was cut out of our floor to make room for the stairs.  I am hoping to repourpose it and have it made into the table top for the breakfast nook we plan to add to the kitchen.  Fingers crossed!
