Ooooooo–I LOVE this table top. Imperfections to me ARE perfect. I love distressing–the real kind from age and use, not the fake kind to hurry up something new to make it look old. Just the right kind of face lift! Thanks for sharing. ~Kathy

Nice pictures! You beautifully describe just how easy it is to get away from all that toxic stuff — email, phone, office, to-do lists. I love all the leftover things nature gives us.

Chris – Yep, new plants every spring for petunias and the like, though I also grow lots of cold hardy perennials. I can’t imagine the cost and trouble of having to replace everything each year.

Seriously? So the plants die out every winter? It must be expensive to maintain those gardens then. But then again, you get the satisfaction of growing new ones every spring.

My cousin had a pet goose when I was a kid… I would have rather tangled with a rattlesnake than that goose!

I use straight mineral oil on my cutting boards, though I suppose a bit of wax in the mix wouldn’t hurt if you had gaps to seal. I’d hesitate to cut meat on an old one with gaps though, and I don’t on my butcher block table. It’s just too hard to santize after and then it would have to be resealed so often.

I love this!
I wish I had somewhere to put a table like this. Great find!
I am guessing this maintnenace would work on old cutting boards…or not?

Hey, looks beautiful to me! The fact that it was ‘recycled’ and a bargain to boot, makes it that much prettier.

That’s been one of my favorite spots for well over 30 years… and I still take a look every time I pass it.
