The Start of Something Awesome!

We have finally begun the journey of building our dining room table!  That's right...building!  My Mom had a door that was removed from my Great Grandparent's home...that's old!  So Alex had the bright idea to use that beautiful old door for something unique.  He started working on preparing the door about 3 weeks ago. It's coming along quite nice.  A few more coats of protective finish on it and the door itself will be set.  Then he has to mount it on the legs that we got from Ikea followed by figuring out how we want the chairs and bench to look.  That is still up in the air.  Obviously the chairs can't exactly match the door simply because one is over a hundred years old and the others are brand spankin new.  That will take some clever thinking on our part...but we have a few ideas in mind.  Any way you swing it, it's gonna be awesome simply because of what it represents!  We are so excited to have family meals around the table as our Adelaide grows and possibly even our family one day!  After this project is complete it's on to the next...re-finishing my Nannie's china cabinet!  Super excited about that one too.  Here is a sneak peak of what's to come...
