I have always loved the look of planked table tops.

| Source One of my most favorite wood planked tables is this one from over at Peeking Thru The Sunflowers. I have been admiring Des's dining room table for some time now. Her hubby made it for her from reclaimed barn wood. It is swoon worthy I think. |
 |
| Surprisingly enough The Hubster gave in to my request to create our very own planked table top. Can you guess where it will be going? |
 |
| If you guessed our dining room you would be right. |
 |
| I spent 30 minutes taking every screw out in hopes that the top would just pop right off. |
 |
| That was a huge negative. Apparently we purchased a very well made table. I have no idea just how we will be getting the top off but trust me it will be coming off. |
 |
| In the meantime I spent time out in the garage working on the new top. I am hoping to be done with this project by the weekend but we shall see. Linking up to the following linky parties: Nifty Thrifty Tuesday |

Good morning Pamela.
I too have been swooning over plank top tables. This might be the push I need to get it done. Will be showing the Mr. this post later today... I am so excited to see the finished product.
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Gee
Could you make a fake top that sits over the old one? My dad did this...
Love it..My husband is making me one of these..So excited here and excited for you too..Can't wait to see your new jewel..Have a wonderful day..
I agree with you Pamela! I love mine so much and knowing the boards came off my great grandmother's house make it even more special. Love yours too!!
I know it's going to look amazing!
Oh, I be it will look amazing...can't wait to see :)
Can't wait to see the reveal.
It is going to look great, Pamela. Looking forward to seeing it all set up.
I'm with you, I love plank table tops and am excited to see how you build yours. Nice husband!
Was that what the sawing was on Sunday? Looks great! It's so nice to have a man around the house isn't it?
It's going to be gorgeous!!
Pamela,
This is going to be gorgeous. My husband and I did the same thing to our table and I remember it was a lot of work to get the top off but so worth it in the end. We used old barn wood for our top of the table too. I can't wait to see your table.

It looks like it will be lovely. We have a planked table made from the wood structure of an old pine-built cabin. The planks are really large and I love the rustic feel of the whole piece. Enjoy!
Wow that's quite a project but so worthwhile! You'll enjoy it all the more for having struggled with it. Look forward to seeing the final result! Joan
How exciting!! I can't wait to see it when it is complete!
Oh, how much fun! I adore these table tops too, and I really love your base. It's going to look so cool with the new top. I can't wait to see! ~Kristie
This is going to be beautiful! I love the wood tone you chose, too!
Oh I can't wait to see it!

Pamela! You lucky girl! I soooooo want a plank topped table! It is going to look absolutely awesome!!! Cannot wait to see the finished piece. (Oh! And your hubby totally rocks!)
Oh, that farmhouse table with the paper whites is wonderful.
I can't wait to see this table, I am sure it will be just beautiful.

Can't wait to see the reveal!!! I, too, am yearning for a plank table and get rid of my glass one!!!
