X Base Farmhouse Table #2!

This post definitely needs be placed under a "Nathan Utz Designs" tab, as he is the master builder of now TWO amazing X Base Farmhouse Tables for our family. His parents have been updating their place up at Diamond Lake and this year for Christmas, we gifted them a table and a bench for the lake. Upon completion of this one, though - he said, "Next year I'm just giving my parents a gift card." Ha! It's a process, but sooooooo worth it!

We used the same plans as the first table that we made a year ago, but adjusted the lengths to meet our needs. They are from Ana White and Shanty 2 Chic and can be found here. Truly, if you have a miter saw, you CAN do this build! It's a bigger project, but such an awesome end result.

For the bases, we sanded heavily, primed, caulked, and then painted 2 coats of white paint. For the Tops, we sanded, painted 1 light coat of white paint, sanded again, then stained with a mixture of ebony and dark walnut stains. I use very little stain, and rub it on and off, trying to achieve a look of worn, weathered wood. We then topped all pieces with a coat of poly. The chairs were from Target and can be found here. They look fantastic with the table design and are both sturdy & cute! 

We're pleased with the outcome, and hope Meeka & Papa are, too! I'm thinking we can fit at least 6 little grandkids' booties on that bench for dinner, right? Easily.
