Barn Door Table

Hinges, and latches adorn my kitchen table. An old barn door, attached to some legs, and perfection.

The door became a beautiful kitchen table.


The plain wood legs, and base needed something, so a white wash, and paint stained clothes was a must.



Looking at all the imperfection of the door, remind me how beautiful old and used items are.





The children especially love playing with the hinge, while they are sitting on my lap.



After a couple of months, and not being able to find any vintage folding chippy chairs ( I am still looking), I decided to paint the chairs I already had.




I sanded all 6 chairs and painted them fun, bright colors, red, green, purple, orange, turquoise, and yellow.

Thank you Martha Stewart paint samples.



The children love them , and it has helped Baylie with learning her colors.


I love how unique they are! It is not every day you walk into someones home, who has 6 different colored chairs.



I added a burlap table runner, with Turquoise strips (the DIY is coming on the runner.)




An IKEA white vase, with dried Hydrangea from my sisters garden, takes center stage on this one of a kind table.


Playing games around this table, and entertaining is so enjoyable.

  9. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE, your table. I have a barn door available to me, and I would like to use your idea. I have a couple question though. Did you have to do anything special to the door to prevent any creepy crawlies from coming out of it? Also, did you coat it with a matte varnish or any other kind of sealer to make it easier to clean up? Thanks for the inspiration.

  22. Jennifer- I used a very small paint brush. Actually one of my daughters and that seemed to work great.

  25. I used to have an old cellar door like this that my dad made for me. But when I moved I gave it back to him. And I think he tore it apart and made it into something else... (sigh) Love your table!

  26. This table, in my eyes, is perfection. It's weather worn appearance that is true and natural tells a REAL authentic story. I'm in LOVE. :)

    Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up.

    The text in your article seem to be running off the screen in Opera.
    I'm not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I figured I'd post to let you know.
    The design look great though! Hope you get the issue solved soon.

Can someone else please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening to them as well? This might be a issue with my browser because I've had this happen previously.

    It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s very
    difficult to get that “perfect balance” between user friendliness and appearance.
    I must say that you’ve done a very good job with this.
    Also, the blog loads very quickly for me on Firefox.
