    • This looks amazing! What a great place to relax and entertain friends this coming fall. You went with a great layout- rustic, and cozy. Now all you need is a fire pit!

    • Wow! Awesome space! I love the rustic look.

    • I so love this table! Great job on the details! YOU hit this one out of the park!
      By rchampine, on October 4, 2016

    • Beautiful turn out! Completely agree with rchampine- the details are spot on! What's it like working with a gel stain as opposed to a traditional stain?
      By RYOBI Nation, on October 5, 2016
      • This was my first time using gel stain and I must say the application of it was a lot easier than traditional stain. Not as messy and seemed easier to manage unevenness. The fumes from traditional stain always bothers me but this stuff did not at all! I Love it!
        By Smashingdiy, on October 6, 2016

    • Great to know! Thanks for the tip, and thanks for sharing this beautiful project!

    • Nailed it! This looks so great. Your finish is amazing- it looks like something out of a Monet painting. What technique did you use to get that look?
      By RYOBI Nation, on December 2, 2016
      • thank you! I used Annie Sloan chalk paint and put dark wax over it to give it the antique effect
