Is this gorgeous old farm table...
Isn't she a beaut? Last summer I had my eye on a smaller version in my mom's antique store. My uncle did some work for her and, in lieu of cash, took the table, then gave it to me for my birthday. (All together "Awwwwwww")
As much as I absolutely loved it, we just found that it was too narrow and small for our family - especially since our family is about to expand. So we traded up (thanks mom!) for this ginormous farm table. It just fits in perfectly in our mountainy cabin and I can almost hear it whisper "Come sit down a spell."
The legs of the table were made from old porch columns.
And the wood planks on the top came from a tobacco barn in North Carolina. It's the wood that the tobacco was laid out on to dry. The top has been re-planed, as you can see, but the bottoms of the boards are still rough and rustic.
It's kind of hard for me to imagine buying a piece of furniture new when sitting at a table that seems to tell its own stories of times past.

It's quite pretty.
I felt the same way when Mr. Savvy and I first came across a Salvation Army in our new hometown. We walked to the furniture section and I said, "we're never buying a brand new dining room table again." Too bad more people don't go for pre-loved things.
Gorgeous!
