Craft Table

Luke's "big" Christmas present this year was a craft table. He's a huge fan of coloring, so he was really in need of a surface that he could use to be creative and express himself (without giving me a heart attack that markers and crayons were gonna get all over our furniture).

So, Andie and I decided to put our heads together and make a table for him. We both searched the internet far and wide to find examples of tables that we liked. Andie purchased the wood and I drew out the pattern for our fun project! Andie created the first prototype, suggested a few design changes, and I re-drew the base of the table (version 2 looked much better!). Andie built prototype #2 (which was a winner), so I proceeded to paint, monogram, and clear coat our final product.

Team work at its best!







I must take a moment to brag on my husband... he is such an amazing builder!! He has made SO many awesome things in our house - picture frames, changing table, headboard, computer desk - just to name a few!

He really needs to start a side business as a woodworker. I was telling him that we need to start pumping out these craft tables as our first item for sale. Once upon a time I created a blog/website for his future woodworking business - I just haven't updated it in forever! It showcases some of the previous projects that he's created.

If anyone has any woodworking needs - you just let me know! :)

He just finished making a bookshelf for Luke's room - so whenever I get that thing painted, I'll post pics of it.
