I've always loved farmhouse tables and I knew when I moved to Atlanta that I wanted to build one - because I found an awesome site that taught you how to do it. I could customize the size to whatever I needed and since my dining room is a little narrow for a normal width table - I could fit the custom built one in along with 8 people (10 with a squeeze).
The post on my Farmhouse table is one of my all-time most popular posts, you can read it here: Farmhouse Table Post
I am now selling that table, so if you are interested check it out.
