A New Bed!

Growing up, my family had this kitchen table that we loved. It was teak with terra cotta tiles in the middle. When I graduated from IU and moved to San Francisco my mom gave me the table. It went with me out west, then back to Bloomington. Then up north for a few years, and then back to Bloomington. Then when Luke and I moved in together it was great in our kitchen. I just counted and I'm pretty sure I moved that table 8 times! (and it was HEAVY) When we recently moved in to our new house we got a different table. I wasn't sure what to do with my old table. It has so much sentimental value. I didn't want to throw it out. We were having Dan, the guy who built our house, build a bed for us. Luke came up with the fantastic idea for him to use the tiles from the table in our headboard and foot board. It turned out great - we absolutely love it. He gave us an unreal deal on it and did such a great job. We will have to put a finish on it, but all of the wood he used is from the table, wood that was salvaged from the old barn on the Payton property or our new house.
