Living Areas - Building a dining table!

Adam is finally on Christmas holidays and has a long list of projects. The problem being, Madeline is his shadow and he simply can't get the space or time to tackle anything big! We need to pretend he's gone to work! We are hoping this week, once Christmas is done and dusted Madeline will be cared for for a day and Adam can tackle our dining table.

If you remember from this post what the dining room looked like when Adam bought the house and the old dining suite and then what I had envisioned for the space here. I sold the old dining suite on Gumtree a little while ago so the dining room is currently a dumping ground for said long list of projects. And kids crap. That stuff breeds! Haha!

We have kept the music box, I think it was a family heirloom of sorts. It's quite pretty really and it does work. The room leads to the kitchen which is gated to keep Ollie out.

I also found this photo on my iPhone from a magazine, I also love the sisal rug beneath it. I would love to get natural fibre rugs for our home, eventually.

So he has enough silky oak timber to make the table, so we will see how it progresses. Plenty of photos to come.

I love the idea that it could be kept forever. No pressure on making it perfect Adam! ;)
