The original turquoise paint has faded to the prettiest powder blue. I love how it compliments the navy color of our house, but I still need to seal the top to protect it from the weather. I pulled some chairs from the porch and dining room to add seating, and I'm confident we could squeeze eight adults around this picnic table.
When we removed the old potting shed from our back yard we salvaged some of the barn wood and this blue door. It has minimal termite damage compared to the rest of the shed, and is sturdy enough to eat off of. I've dreamed of turning it into a picnic table since last summer, and this weekend we finally got it done! All it took was some light sanding, removing the original hardware, and adding four legs. We debated on what to use for legs, but ultimately we went with deck posts which we cut down to 30". I painted them with a thin coat of white to keep it shabby chic, and that's it! So easy.

We're finishing up our outdoor patio space just in time for some festive summer gatherings! With the addition of this table we will be able to host our family and friends outdoors by the grill and enjoy this sunny weather.
