We currently have no place to put it but are working on a gravel or stone patio to put underneath of it asap. (This is why I didn't take any full shots- it's not so pretty right now but I promise to get some good ones as soon as I can! :) We simply picked out the pieces we wanted and screwed them together and set the table top on 3 steel sawhorses. Besides the thing weighing a million pounds, it was a really simple project and doable in only a few hours.
Hope you enjoyed and can't wait to share pretty pics of it!!
As a decorator & a textile designer, this is my place to muse... perfection doesn't interest me; Reality and charm do. Fresh floppy flowers from the garden over long-stemmed roses any day, I love it when things are slightly off and tell a story.

wow! i love it. your husband is so thoughtful! it's going to look wonderful (as if it doesn't already!)
Gorgeous!
I have to say that is the sweetest present ever!! gorgeous, absolutely love it!
I love your table. My husband and I found old barnwood last weekend at a barn sale in MI. We also found 6 vintage solid wood chairs to go with it. I am hoping to start our project this month! Any suggestions for standard table height?
I LOVE this!!! Ahh you always stumble across the most amazing things!
I LOVE this. So nice to have so much room at a table for guests in the summer. and for projects, so fun!
This is wonderful! Old barn wood is the best isn't it?

You are going to have some wonderful family and friend dinner parties out there. I can just see it all lined up with mason jar candle holders and little vases of daisies. So Lauren so pretty and natural, just like YOU!! Kathysue
Love it!

you lucky ducks! it's gorgeous. pam
Wow, it's so neat! I'd like to see more pictures!
Ohhhh how rustic, simple and beautiful. Great to see the wood repurposed. I vote for a gravel patio to put it on!
Oh , such a great gift!
What a great idea and cheap too! Are you going to stain it? OR at least water treat it so you don't lose it again in five years?
That is fantastic! I need to send this to my sister and her fiance asap.

Awesome! You're so clever!!
What a wonderful husband you have -- and so handy, too! Can't wait to see the patio when it's complete.

Oh my gosh! I absolutely love it! Wish I also lived close to that barn :) You scored big!!!
Holy crap. This is awesome!
Your hubby is a keeper! I'm LOVING this! I've always had a thing for barnboard and what a perfect use for it. : )
first time here, and already I see something we have in common: husband's that make tables out of barn wood - yours is awesome!
I am in love! You could totally sell this...for a ton!
love the weathered wood with the blue tinted glass!
Lauren you are so lucky, I love it. I have been looking all over for reclaimed wood, I can't find any, I have so many things I want to make with it! You are one lucky girl!!!!!!
I LOVE your table.
Hope you are having a great week!
Take Care,
Maria
I think it looks awesome! Think of all the parties...

Hi Lauren!
I am in love with this table!!! Gorgeous and simple... just the way I like it!:)
We still have some original beams from our old barn and I have been racking my brain trying to figure out what to do with them!
Your blog is beautiful!
Oh yeah.. I am now a follower!:-)
Love the old barnwood! I just did a post about a company who is creating furniture from salvaged barn wood...very cool stuff!
What a wonderful project and so practical as well as beautiful.
Brilliant.

We want to build a cabin and have a table like this inside. Thanks!
He deserves an amazing father's day gift! Amazing table and perfect for family gatherings.
We love our gravel patio. That table is going to be so much fun for parties.
How awesome! Great idea.
You lucky duck, you! It is just lovely...Get that thing a patio and style it up asap...and then maybe invite me over :)
What a sweet husband you have for building that!!
So, when are you hosting a big blogger party??
Oh my, so after 44 posts' and 1543 followers, not even sure you'll see my post but will write anyway:)
This blog is WONDERFUL! I don't know why its taken me so long to find it first of all and second, the harvest table is great just the way it is. It has that rustic Tuscan style.
My husband just got similar old barn wood from his dad's old saw mill and we were going to cut it smaller and make coffee/end tables out of it but after seeing this I hate to cut it up...
I'm now FOLLOWING you and would like tp invite you to come FOLLOW me at LaBella Vie, it would be a honor to have you as a FOLLOWER.
Most Sincerely,
Terry
Looks divine!!!! Love it.
Gorgeous! I can see a great fabulous meal with lots of friends and family gathered around. So fun!

Love the table! Looking forward to hearing about the stone/gravel patio too. I've been trying to do the same at my house but can't seem to pull the trigger quite yet. I LOVE the look but our house is in the woods so it would be a never ending battle with the twigs and leaves from the surrounding trees! I know whenever you get it the way you want it will be Gorgeous!
Oh, I am just dying to see the base!!! Any chance???
this is so great, simplicity is beauty.

Hello!
Don't know if you still have this outdoor piece. Any chance you have the instructions for the DIY project?
Thank you!
