Barn Door Table

I found an old barn door at a new shop that opened nearby.  

I had been searching for a rustic outdoor table and when I saw this, 

I knew it would work.

We thought about using some old sawhorses for the legs ~

but they were really hard to find.

We settled for making some legs with 4x4's.

I am going to distress the table legs with a mixture of

steel wool and vinegar as I have seen on Pinterest.

At the same store I found this old rusty ring to use for an 

outdoor light.

I found the grape lights at Walmart.

I've been picking up mismatched chairs at yardsales and Goodwill.

I still need a few more.

There is a lip around the edge of the table, 

but we ate out last night and it was just fine.

I found this cool wooden bowl at Goodwill for a couple dollars.

The door had rusty hinges that we have left on for now.

There is a rusty piece of strapping too.

I want to keep it but the hubby wants to remove it.

What do you think - does it stay or does it go?

I can't wait to host some summer dinners here!
