The Big Reveal

You saw the sneak peak. Now, here is the big reveal of the dining table and bench. Tadaaaa!


I am so very proud of Mark's work on this project. He has built every part of this room including the bench and this table.....and walls and floors and ceiling and lights.

Can we eat yet?!

The table top was leftover from when the previous owner rennovated the kitchen. When Mark first saw it he said it would make a great table for that corner. We used automotive fabric from my work for the bench cushion. And the table legs are Grandpa Fender's legs. What? Grandpa Fender is Mark's maternal grandfather and he turned these wooden legs a long time ago for his house in Anaheim. They are perfect for our table and Mark said he really felt a sense of pride and connection to his grandpa as he sanded the legs and attached them.


It is so nice to finally be able to eat dinner at a real table (not the couch or a folding table). I seriously almost cried the day I came home and the table was finished. I quickly made some spaghetti and salad, set the table for two and served up dinner. I'm looking forward to many more meals together at this table through the years. So, when are you coming over for dinner??


Let's eat before I fall asleep
