This table top has the neat ability to fold vertically.

The center of the base pivots to hold the top up or to let it fold down.

This would be great for a small space such as an apartment or loft space,

and when it is folded it is easy for one person to lift and move.

I was also thinking it may help prevent that re occurring issue of the kitchen table being

the catch all place for everything in the house but I know not many of us have that problem,

RIGHT?

Here is the table before,

and here is the nasty, beaten up top, with peeling clear coat and deep grooves

to catch all sorts of food stuff in.

And yes there was plenty I chiseled out.

For this guy I actually painted the entire table black but only kept it solid on the base.

See above all the blackened scars in the surface.

I achieved this by hand sanding the black paint down exposing all the filled in ruts

and smoothing out the soft pine.

I then filled the grooves to prevent dirt build up in them before

rubbing 3 coats of wax into the wood.

It really is so gorgeous now and super smooth.

Simply White

This past week I decided to repaint the kitchen. A white kitchen has always been something Ive wanted as far as cabinets go, but it never occurred to me to paint the walls white as well. And hey, its a lot easier since it doesnt matter if I get paint on the trim. :) I was really growing tired of the color on the walls, which was Light Gray by Farrow and Ball and darker than I usually like so it was time for a change.
I chose the perfect shade of white, in my opinion. Simply White by Benjamin Moore. And when I say perfect shade of white, Im not exaggerating. So far, Ive painted my kitchen with it, as well as several pieces of furniture, a door and probably whatever else I can find that needs repainting.
Its simply white and thats why I love it. The perfect creamy white color. And a very calming kitchen.

It really makes the walnut and barn wood in my kitchen pop.

My hubby found this amazing rusty, beat up metal basket at the metal salvage yard this weekend and I fell in love with it. I popped this metal number on it and filled it with my ramekins and tin molds and I smile every time I look at it. I love rusty finds like that.

My next project for the kitchen is to rip out the countertop and install a new barn wood top.

I cant wait!
And its always fun working on projects with this guy..... :)

What do you think of simply white?
Thanks for visiting today!
