It’s just my little table that I use as a fake mantel until we get a real-live, grown-up mantel of our own some day.Chris made it for me last year out of some barn wood (off the barn out back) and some old two by fours that he took out of one of our walls.

And then, as if it was our fate to finish the kitchen, exactly when it was really starting to bug us the most, GE Sealants stepped in and asked us if we’d like to try out their new fancy-shmancy, super-quick, extra-easy-to-use adhesive.And just like that, kitchen design magic was made!.
