 How to Create A DIY Farmhouse Kitchen Table

When my husband and I built our house, we didn’t have a lot of extra money left over. This meant no money to buy a kitchen table. So we improvised and made our own farmhouse kitchen table.

These pictures were taken YEARS before I decided to start blogging. Even before I really started documenting a lot on social media sites like Facebook. So I do apologize I don’t have the step by step pictures.

This table is absolutely gorgeous. These pictures don’t do it justice. And best part?? It only costs around $60 or so for the lumber. We are going on our 4th year of using it and it’s holding up quite nicely.

My husband used the same stain as our cabinets to stain the table and the decorative trim was painted the same color as our walls in the kitchen. The trim is not required, but it does add a nice touch to the tables and benches.

We used 2×4’s as the braces on the tables and the benches.

The legs of the table were made of 2×4’s cut at a 45  degree angle and joined together with wood glue and tack nails. We wanted to make sure that the legs were heavy-duty enough to hold up the heavy tabletop.

The top and sides of the benches were made of 2×12’s nailed together with 16 penny nails.

In just a few days and with the help of my father-in-law, my husband had made our own farmhouse kitchen table and I was in love! For under $100 we had a spacious table and two benches. I am so thankful we decided to make a table instead of go buy one. There is not a table out there that looks this nice AND has love built in each piece!
