~ My Farmhouse (Fence) Easter Table ~


My husband surprised me by making this chippy white farm table


When I was gone antique shopping with a friend he was busy working on this table
I had no idea he was making it
We had discussed that we really needed another table for Easter Sunday
Since our pine farm table is too small




I was completely at a loss for words when he showed it to me
 He made it out of our old chippy white fence that he tore down last year
I still can't believe how sweet and creative it was for him to make it
And it was FREE except for some nails and etc.
I had no idea my husband could be so "green" ;)
It isn't perfect which makes it perfect to me and really special
Now we have more space for our guests on Sunday


~ I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and a Happy Easter ~
Hugs,
Rachel

    What a great guy! He not only builds you a table but he knows your style and makes it perfectly. That's better than chocolates and flowers any day!

    Rachel thank you for dropping by today to say hello! I do not have a shipping address for your white leather tote and goodies. I have e-mailed but it looks like it didn't go through? Just need an address. I think you'll love it.

    LUV IT, Rachel! What a sweetie pie he is!!! ♥ He should make more and sell them. :) I can just imagine how beautifully welcoming your Easter table will be!

    I have to ask you -- where did you purchase your vintage bistro chairs? I would love to purchase a couple of them!!!
