I love tables. I enjoy painting and, best of all, distressing tables. I love the look of rugged, imperfect, well-used tables. The Family Circle one has a nice chippy look. It also has a stainless steel top, which is cool, but would add a bit too much $$$ for me to seriously consider at this point.
When Googling, I came across a post on farmhouse tables from one of my favorite bloggers - Donna at Funky Junk Interiors. She featured some beauties, including a farmhouse table / desk that she built.
Donna also featured a table by another of my favorite bloggers - Miss Mustard Seed. She's my painting and refinishing guru. I love her farm table. Mmmmmmm... I wonder... could I possibly? Oh, my wheels are spinning.
I guess you can probably tell that my favorite farm tables do not have smooth even tops. I like the rustic ones best. The ones that look like someone just nailed some boards to the top and called it a day.

Googling led me to this 2009 post on farmhouse tables from Studio M Designs. She found some beauties. Here's my fav -
This is one that I had saved from a magazine for years. I'll bet the clipping is at least 10 years old. These tables just don't go out of style.
