Months ago I came across a person's blog who designs furniture....I bookmarked her and check her blog everyday. Then recently I decided I'd pick a project to build...and did it. I completed this little picnic table set for the boys all by myself...aside from my little helpers below. I made all the cuts, picked out the boards and screwed them together all by myself! Now, don't come over looking too close...they aren't perfect! But I'm pretty happy that I was able to do this on my own.
I decided in order to reduce costs I would select whatever color Lowes had in their oops paint section. It happened to be this fun bright red and gray. Thankfully I decided to paint the top gray...it took me like 6 coats of red on the legs and that would have gotten OLD FAST for the whole thing. The boys have been so involved in this process. They have sat and watched me the whole process. The painting they had to do, though I told them I had to do the red alone...I could picture the red paint EVERYWHERE!
Anyway, here it is all finished. We had lunch out on it today. It was a fun project...but I'll never make another one haha.

Amazing! I am so impressed. We've thought about trying to build something before, but just don't know how. Good job!
