That Family Farmhouse Table

That family farmhouse table. You know the one. One that can seat all your friends and family. One that is handmade, and handmade by someone close to you. One that will be in your family for years, maybe even generations to come. That one.

Well, over Thanksgiving break this year, I got that one. That farmhouse table that I’ve been dreaming about for years. It’s so special to me, I just had to share it with you all.

Joe’s 88 year old grandfather (who doesn’t look or act like he’s 88) was here for Thanksgiving this year. Joe wanted his help on the table to say that “generations” made this table together. It’s true. We had his 88 year old grandfather, Joe, and our 3 boys all working to put this table together. Talk about something special.

Made out of cherry, it was hand cut and from the property at our family cabin in The Smoky Mountains in North Carolina. This is more than just a farmhouse table.

This is the piece that will be in the family for years to come. All the boys (my husband and his grandfather included) all signed the table. That’s one of my favorite things about this piece. Handmade benches and two end chairs make this table complete. Don’t you think?
