{From the Workshop} The Craft Table

October 30, 2012 posted by

Can I just brag on my man for a minute?  He is so incredibly talented, I can’t believe I haven’t shared many of his masterpieces with you! 
 
 
And as for the title of this post (which may turn into a series, as I have much more to show you!), we don’t actually have a workshop. We have a garage…which has never seen a car inside.  It houses a couple of bikes, some toilet paper bought in bulk, and wood. 
 
 
Lots and lots of wood.  Two by fours, scrap wood, pallets and completed projects clutter up our garage.  Not to mention the fine layer of sawdust covering everything.
 
 
Once or twice I may have grumbled {under my breath} about the mess.  But then, I’ll see something on Pinterest that I just HAVE to have.  And that’s when Super Dave comes in and saves the day.  And a few weekends later, the garage door opens and through the haze of sawdust…..I see the completed project.  And then I forget about the mess, clutter and dust, and am just. so. proud.
 
 
So this project was one of Ana White’s plans.  Have you heard of her?  No? Run and check out her website of amazing furniture plans….lots of knock off decor and easy DIY stuff.  Go on…I’ll wait! 
 
 
I had been looking for the ‘perfect’ craft table…with lots of open storage, a couple of drawers, large work surface and a bar-like overhang.  But other than that, I wasn’t picky!  So when I found these plans-it was love at first sight! 
 
 
Dave actually finished my craft table awhile ago {you will get to see it in a few weeks, when I do my craft room reveal!}, and made a second one for Loo Loo to serve as her kitchen table.  So this one is actually hers….identical to mine, only hers is antiqued white, and mine is antiqued blueish-greenish.
 
 
 We got the drawer hardware from Lowe’s!  Don’t they look great?
 
 
And I just love how the stains allow you to see every beautiful imperfection in the wood.
 
 
 Well done Dave, well done.

    I like to think that the fine layer of sawdust is just a little “patina” for our garage! Thanks for the post love! And Yes i will finish the picture frames for your craft booth tonight!

    Wow!! I’m not sure which is cooler, the project or that your hubby can make things like that! My hubby can hook up all your techie gadgets and make sure your blog and computer is running smoothly. But this kind of thing? Not so much! Enjoy!

    [...] want to find a flat surface to work on, like a large craft table.  Print out the four sheets of the template, and tape them together to make the map complete.  [...]
