12/25/12 Update
Merry Christmas! Everything arrived and the assembly went as planned. It was a little hard to notch and shorten the legs without a table saw but the jig saw cuts give it character right? lol. I got the first coat of white paint on this weekend. It would have been easier to spray paint but I couldn't do it indoors. The brushed look gives it that hand made look anyway though. I just need to do the antique finish and get the stools!

After searching high and low for a kitchen island / work
table that was large enough to fit six people, the right height, durable enough to actually use and not thousands of dollars, I determined it didn't exist. And I wasn't willing to settle for a cheap table that wasn't even what I wanted; so in
typical architect fashion I designed it myself !!
Below is a list of the parts I ordered and painting supplied I’ll be using. More to follow on the building process.
