I made a new table and bench!

I'm so in love with how it turned out.

I used the plans from the great Ana White and modified it for my size.

Staining was a nightmare.  I had to use many colors as weathered grey was way too blue.  

I also like to use my kitchen counter and living room as work spaces.  Doesn't everyone else?

Of course my $90 table turned into painting the walls, buying a new light fixture and buying new chairs.  $300 dollars later.... but so worth it.
