Farmhouse Table Needs Help
Comments (11)Thanks for all the feedback, I'm rethinking this. I did use paint thinner to clean the table once I finished stripping it. It appears the original stain was applied to the top coat when it was finished. The wood grain is so tight that it makes me doubt that it is oak. Usually with oak when you sand it you can lift the grain a little. When I sand this is just gets slicker no matter what grit I used. I removed some of the finish on the bottom of one chair rail and I have some different stains. I will try one or two of these and see how it absorbs the stain. I agree the wood looked nice once it was stripped but it is much lighter than the rest of the table and the chairs. I'm really concerned that it will be blotchy if I try and stain it or that it won't be close enough in color. I'll give it a try on the bottom rail and see what happens....See MoreWanted: farmhouse table
Comments (26)Given that I got to thinking looking at my eat in kitchen table which measures 86" long. My fixture is a more minimal light meaning it's a large light yet, no shade or shades and is a very minimalistic light as in it is, "see through" such as a lantern is. It works perfectly at 25". If you can and you like this light and want to be certain what you like, I'd cut a piece of cardboard (keeping in mind it's a slightly tapered and the widest portion is the widest advertised size and at the bottom portion of the light) and suspend it from a string taping it to the ceiling 36" or so above the table. I would personally go with the larger light. I was just sitting in my family room looking at the table and decided to take the measures as it's a, "farm style" rustic table. The width at the bottom of the light is 25". However, that is at the widest point which is the point closest to the table. The width of my table is 39". Despite that if you can cut a slightly tapered cardboard piece at 17" at the portion closest to the table and a 24" piece closest to the table and slightly tapered and try them I am thinking you might go with the 24". Long story.... I know, I was just staring at it thinking you need to go a bit larger than 17". If I'm not making sense please ask... I've been out working all over town all day and was a long day :) Good night...See MoreFarmhouse table for eat-in kitchen instead of huge island?
Comments (5)I would narrow in : drop leaf and/or trestle style . Yes to the idea but particulars matter. Avoid table legs being in the way if possible.....drop leaf let's you be flexible with usage and space . You can have local woodworkers make you one exactly to your requirements. Do you have vintage places or craigs list you can search...sometimes you can find an old farmhouse table with the right top...and have a new base made/etc. This is a great way to put character in your space....See MoreWhat BM white for farmhouse table?
Comments (3)Hard to tell without knowing what your trim color is. Why not paint it the same color as your trim if you’re worried about one or the other looking white?...See MoreRelated Professionals
