Happy Monday, everyone! I have the most amazing favorite find to share today. I’m actually in love with this – so much so, that I am doing what I am absolutely not supposed to do – I am keeping it!
It is a huge, gorgeous, old farmhouse table. The bottom is beautiful with gorgeous cut wood details.
I cannot wait to get started on refinishing the huge top and I will figure out the bottom as I go along.
The table has two fold down leaves on either side. There are slats underneath that pull out to keep the sides up. 
My dining room is just calling out for it! I am really good about selling all of my pieces and it is hard because I actually love all of them. However, I would never be able to either find or afford a similar table from a retailer or other source. I think that it’s time to sell my existing dining room table and I get to keep my special find. At least I will be making a little bit by selling my existing table (yes, I am trying to justify it)!
As a little kid would say, “No, it’s mine!” 🙂

Fantastic table! Enjoy it 😉
Great find! But inquiring minds want to know what is the story with the soft white dresser/chest in the background??? Looks gorgeous! 🙂
You are peeking into next week, dear Robin 🙂 lol!
Wow…I wouldn’t feel the least bit guilty about keeping that beauty !
Love it! I just bought the same table at a consignment shop only mine does not have leaves and it has two matching benches! Can’t wait to see what you do with yours because I’m still trying to decide how to refinish mine too!

I can relate to special finds. You are right to want to keep it.
I had always wanted a table like this. On a Saturday trip to my local Habitat Restore, I finally found it for a modest price of $175.00. I was ecstatic until I saw the sold sign on it. I asked the clerk if she thought it was a solid sale and she said yes, it was a contractor who had JUST bought it. I thought about it all week and for some unknown reason I went back early the next Saturday. I looked in the back storage area and it was still there. When I went back to the front counter a man walks in and says “the farm table I bought is too big, I want a different one” . I yelled I want it, I’ll buy it.
Sometimes timing is everything or perhaps karma. Anyway I have my lovely table which I sanded to the bare wood and finished with a custom walnut stain mix trying to get close to the base color and waxed it. I cleaned the base and coated it with hemp oil, which I love to enhance an old finish. For me, the story is ALMOST as good as the table.
