A Beautiful Mess

We recently moved and have been on the hunt for all kinds of furniture. I’ve been searching for the perfect dining table for months now, and haven’t been successful in finding The Table. I’ve decided it’s easier to build my own and here are five tutorials that are inspiring me!

1. DIY Pine & Oak Dining Table For Eight – When broken down in steps, this table seems totally doable. Created in a few days and on a budget of about $350, Elsie of A Beautiful Mess was able to build a custom table that matched her home and her aesthetic.

2. DIY Farmhouse Table by Tommy & Ellie – I love the weathered look of farmtables, but they can come at a pretty hefty price. Here is a SUPER-detailed tutorial of how to build your own for thousands of dollars less than you can buy!
