Entry Table: Take One

Isn't this table funny? I've been wanting my husband to build me an entry table so that I can decorate our entry. Usually when I have projects that I want my husband to build for me, I draw a sketch, or draft a drawing in AutoCAD. This time, I just showed him how wide I wanted the depth of the table to be using my hands and let him go with it! He was just going to use scrap wood that we had out in our garage so we didn't go and buy any new wood for this project. This past Saturday, I took the kids to a Garden Party over at a family play center so that he could have some good time to work on it without kids climbing all over his tools. When I came home and saw how skinny it was...I was cracking up! Apparently, he thought I gestured to make it only about 6-7" in depth, which he thought was weird, but just went with it! Although my dear husband took the time to build this for me, I don't think I'm going to be using it. Honestly, it would make the perfect sofa table (the ones that sit behind a sofa and can display things). But since I don't have a need for that right now, I'm not sure what I'm going to do with this table (Sorry Dear!). As you can clearly see, not only would it have no function and purpose, but it is not to the proper scale in the entry. A table about roughly 12" would be much for fitting for that little space.



And p.s...See my light blue tile and blue carpet? I can't wait until it is replaced in the near future!
