Most of my lovely blog readers know that my husband has a hobby I love: He makes furniture. It soothes his soul…and makes me a very happy woman.
It usually starts by him saying “I need a new project, what would you like?” (yeah, don’t hate me)
This time it was a kitchen table. Ye olde 10 year old light wood oval from Sears just wasn’t cutting it anymore. I knew I wanted a trestle…with a bench. And I wanted the top pieces to be irregular. Dark cherry. Distressed.
Oh…pretty much something exactly like this:
After 17 years together, it’s like he can read my mind.
