Ok, so it’s been a little while since I’ve done a major building project. Laree and I have been looking for a queen sized bed for one of the children and haven’t found anything that we like or want to spend the money on. So here’s my next project!
I built this bench to go with our Rustic Farmhouse Table. Since building it, it’s been a great addition to the table. In addition to the “look” we were going for, it’s really useful when we have a houseful of children and need to cram a bunch of them around the table.
Here’s a better way of attaching the tabletop for the Farmhouse table. Most of the instructions you’ll find on the internet don’t go into detail on the tabletop, but when working with construction grade wood (which most people do for this plan), it can have a tendency to move. This can be a problem, particularly in environments where there are seasonal changes in humidity causing the wood to expand and shift.
Inspired by the DIY farmhouse table design by Ana White, I decided to try this project out. It’s a great project for an ambitious beginner and because it’s a “rustic” design, it’s a pretty forgiving project.
