How to Build a DIY Farmhouse Dining Table
I am sooooo excited to share the newest Ana White plans with you guys today! This is my very favorite build yet! I have been in serious need for a hardwood outdoor table to seat my family of 7. When we stumbled upon a beautiful, long farmhouse table from Anthropologie, I knew it was love at first sight. Everything was perfect about this rustic dining table, except that $2,000 price tag. Ouch! That hurts to even write. But… I knew who to call to help me make my own at a very small fraction of that cost! Here is our knock off version…
I will share a few pics from my dining room table build, and you can checkout the full set of plans for this table HERE on Ana’s site! Let me start with price…. $65 and all built with pine framing lumber! How great is that?? It was a super easy piece of furniture to build as well.
I used Gorilla Wood Glue and deck screws for most of the construction! 😉 I also used my Kreg Jig® on a few parts!For those of you on the fence about finally purchasing one of these, go for it! This tool is AMAZING, and has been life changing for me! It has enabled me to furnish my entire home for very little cost. It’s a small investment with a HUGE return. You will thank us! I suggest getting them from Amazon! Ash and I are Amazon junkies… Best prices and free shipping… WIN WIN! Here is a link to the model Ash and I use below! That kit is really everything you will ever need, other than screws as you run low!
I LOVE, LOVE the results and the price for this solid wood table!! This table can be modified to an outdoor table by just spacing your top boards a bit more apart. To finish it off, I stained the whole thing with Rust-Oleum Ultimate Wood Stain in Dark Walnut. This is definitely one of our top picks for stain! It adds a good warmth and rustic feel and compliments a wide variety of interior design style.
To protect that, I added two coats of Spar Varnish on the table top. Want to see a few more pics?? Yah.. Me too! 😉What do you think?? Did I mention $65. Yah… I think the price makes me love it even more! If you do love it, I would SO appreciate some PINS and shares below! Make sure to check out the full plans for this $65 table on Ana’s site HERE! Thanks so much for stopping by. ~Whitney

Shanty2Chic says:We have a large covered patio. I decided to use plain old pine. I did use an outdoor stain/sealant in one to finish it off. Hope this helps!
Giggling Gerty says:So….. if you were making this to go in an uncovered patio, would you still use the ordinary pine? P.s. love it and the price tag .
