Salvaged Door Dining Table

Happy Tuesday!  Yesterday, the sun shone all day, and it was glorious!  I worked all day and was able to finish 4 pieces of furniture which I will share with you soon.  After the kids got off the bus, my neighbor and I took them to Gambrill Park for an after school hike.  It was the perfect day for it!

Speaking of my neighbor, her daughter who is 7 now was born prematurely.  She has been in Sawyer’s class the last two years and is now on his soccer team as well.  She is a healthy, thriving girl, and her parents feel very blessed and lucky to have her.  Because she was a preemie, they participate in the March of Dimes each year.  Last year, we joined them; this year the boys have to miss it because of soccer, but Emmy and I will be walking with them.  If you wish to donate to this worthy cause, you can click here to get to Emmy’s fundraising page.

And again, speaking of those same neighbors…. remember the amazing door table I showed you a couple weeks ago that Travis built?

Well, I finished it up…. I cleaned up the top, but kept some of the paint on it as I liked the patina and look.  I gave it a couple coats of polycrylic to seal it in.  On the base, I painted it with Pantone’s Whitecap Gray, lightly distressed it, and rubbed Minwax Golden Oak Stain over.

Sunday, Travis helped me take it over to the barn for this month’s sale, so I snapped a couple quick pictures in the driveway first.  It will be all set up with dining chairs at the barn, and when that happens, I will share with you!  For now, enjoy the scenes of my driveway….

I love it!  It would make an awesome desk, dining table, even a kitchen island as long as glass was put on top to keep the surface more even.  Imagine if this was your craft desk? potting bench?  The possibilities are endless!

Happy Tuesday!  I am off for a run with friends, then to work on setting up our barn space a bit and  then I hope to enjoy the sunshine!  Have a beautiful day!

    Well I can agree it would make a great desk or work table because I have one in my studio! I did put a piece of glass over it and it’s wonderful to work on because anything can be scraped off and it can’t be burned! Hopefully someone will have the vision to see that! I’d suggest getting a price on glass and have that info ready when someone wonders how much it would cost….it isn’t that much….could make the difference in a sale!

    I love it….and it is seriously huge! Those legs are gorgeous. I can totally see a nice piece of crisp glass on top of it. Glass and weathered wood….a perfect combo.

    Cassie, the table turned out beautiful! I absolutely love it and am super jealous of you getting four things painted in one day. 😉 You are a rock star! And being a Neonatal Intensive Care Nurse, I have to say that it is an awesome thing that you are doing with your daughter! The medical world has changed in such a way that we are seeing more and more preemies being born at an earlier gestational age and encountering less obstacles and March of Dimes is a huge reason why. The smallest baby that I was at the delivery of was a 24 weeker that weighed 11.7 ounces. She is doing great and is one active girl! It is seriously amazing. Tell your daughter that I think she is fabulous for helping to raise money! 😉 Jesse @ Scout & Nimble

    Wouldn’t that be the most gorgeous outside table? A big piece of glass and an equally large glass of sangria sounds perfect.

    I have a Travis, and he is a great helper, he even painted a big ladder for me recently, but I can’t let him near the power tools. You are so lucky to have your Travis, that table is delicious!!

    I just sold 3 of my salvaged doors because I didn’t want to move them. We should really live closer! You could have done wonders with them!
