In the heart of our home, where countless memories will be made, we've placed a piece that is more than just a table—it’s a reflection of our passion, our craft, and our love for family. We are thrilled to share the story behind our new dining table, a custom creation that will host everything from cozy weeknight dinners to festive holiday feasts.
The Inspiration Behind the Design
When we set out to design our dining table, we wanted something that would not only showcase our craftsmanship but also hold deep personal significance. The live edge wood top was the perfect choice, but this particular piece of wood carries a story that makes it truly special. The wood for this table was milled from a tree on Ali’s family farm—a tree that has now found new life in our home. What makes this even more meaningful is that a slab from the same tree was used to build the bar for our wedding reception, creating a beautiful continuity between two of the most important spaces in our lives.
Because we spend so much of our time building beautiful pieces for our wonderful clients, we rarely get the chance to create something for our own home. This table is a rare exception, and it feels extra special knowing that it will be at the center of our family’s daily life.
We paired the live edge top with a sleek, modern metal base to create a striking contrast. The base not only provides sturdy support but also adds a contemporary flair that balances the rustic nature of the wood. This blend of materials—natural wood and industrial metal—speaks to our love for merging the old with the new, the rustic with the refined.
A Table That Tells a Story
Every knot, every grain in this table’s surface tells a story. The live edge showcases the wood in its most natural state, preserving the unique character that only nature can provide. We chose to leave the wood’s natural imperfections intact, embracing the beauty in its flaws. This table, much like our family, is perfectly imperfect, with each mark adding to its charm and personality.
Building this table was a labor of love. From selecting the perfect slab of wood to carefully crafting the base, every step was done with intention. It was important to us that this table would not only be a centerpiece in our home but also a piece that would stand the test of time—much like the memories we plan to create around it.
A Space for Connection
Dining tables are more than just furniture; they are gathering places. They are where we connect with loved ones, share our day, and enjoy good food. We wanted our table to be a space that fosters connection and togetherness. As we sit down for family meals, we’re reminded of the care and craftsmanship that went into building this table, and we hope it serves as a backdrop for many years of laughter, love, and shared moments.
