Custom COFFEE TABLE with Matching END / SIDE TABLES (…ALL with Lower Shelves) were delivered to their new owner just before Christmas for them to enjoy over the Holidays and forward. The new custom built coffee table and matching side tables were ordered to replace an old existing ensemble of the same.

The Coffee Table and End / Side Tables are displayed below before being moved upstairs in their new home:

Custom MAPLE TOP Coffee Table with Matching End / Side Tables & with Lower Shelves

The tables were all built ’sight unseen’ based upon the customer’s desires and best thoughts for what the lady customer wanted. She knew the basic dimensions of what she wanted and that she wanted the tables to all have lower shelves for baskets and the like. However, she was undecided on what type wood top and stain color she wanted in the tables. In response to that question, we at Just Fine Tables offered her a selection by looking over past custom built farm tables. We asked that she look over some examples of past work to help in making a selection. She did! …and selected the Maple Top as the best example of what she wanted.

We at Just Fine Tables will check back with the customer after we return from a much needed vacation with our Texas based Children and Grandson to get the final determination if the Coffee Table and End / Side Tables met with her satisfaction. We think they will as her husband said that the new tables looked a lot better than their current ones.

Note: If we find that the tables are not what the customer wanted, we at Just Fine Tables will buy them back as we always want our customers happy with our work.

Just Fine Tables (now located in Calera, AL) delivered a Customer Designed Wine Bar – Buffet Table and a Customer Sized Coffee Table with Lower Shelf this past week to their new owners to enjoy over the holidays and for years to come. Both items were built from scratch. Yes, they are virgin “Made-in-America” tables built by Just Fine Tables.

For the Wine Bar-Buffet Table, the customer requested an additional shelf for added wine bottle storage. The idea was to have extra storage at the bottom of the wine bar and that the typical upper shelf would provide immediate and easy access to current wine serving with an expanded area on the shelf for hors d’oeuvres, cheese, and the like. The Wine Bar-Buffet Table is pictured below in its new home:

Dark Stained Maple Top Wine Bar with Dual Wine Storage Shelves

For the Coffee Table with Lower Shelf, the customer requested that the table have a Rustic Looking Top (i.e. used & beat up) sized approximately 2′ x 4′ and that it have a Lower Shelf for some decorative and useful baskets. Note: This coffee table is the first one built by Just Fine Tables to have a lower shelf. The Custom Coffee Table is pictured below in its new home:

2' x 4' Coffee Table with Lower Shelf

It is truly fun helping customers to see their wishes completed and that they can continue to enjoy their wishes for years to come. Luckily, we at Just Fine Tables have more fun items to complete (3 table set [sides & coffee] with lower shelves , a bookcase, a bed’s headboard & foot board, and a “Step-up-to-be-Tall” Stool for our Grandson who will turn 1 year old Christmas Eve) over the next week.

Have Wished Everyone a Merry Christmas & a Very Happy and Prosperous New Year!

Please review and comment as appropriate what you think about our newest endeavor.

Magnetic Chalkboard

Chalkboards that are handcrafted (built from scratch) are some of the other things that Just Fine Tables does for fun and profit. We like challenges …and certainly we get a number of “Honey!- Can you build this or that?” that prompts many of our new activities.

The magnetic chalkboard above was built about 3 years ago and was certainly functional. However, we decided to add a little decoration (the Applique at the top) and also repaint the chalkboard for better use.

You can find the Magnetic Chalkboard at Encore Resales in Pelham AL… plus many other items from Just Fine Tables and other vendors who consign at the store.  Please know that shopping or just cruising the store is an experience and also know that YOU CANNOT see everything in just one visit.

Got to go for now!  I’m finishing another Southern Living Magazine replica picture item and some other things (just finished building a 6 ft Farm Table, for example.)  Later….

Again, if you like JustFineTables.com , please let us know what you think.

And if you really like our newest endeavor, please link up with us.

Yours truly,

Frank

For me, it all started as a hobby, or as a ‘Honey, Can You Build This?’ for me.  My wife, the obvious ‘Honey Do initiator’, asked me sometime back to refinish a few furniture items she wanted to sell at a consignment store nearby our home. The list of items seemed to expand almost weekly from a chair, to a night stand, to a small table, to my largest refinishing item ever, a large 2-piece antique buffet / sideboard with beveled mirror all in dark red mahogany. Wow, that was a job and a half!; however, it turned out to be beautiful, if I do say so, and it sold for the highest price of any item my wife ever sold.

Then, I got a… “Honey, can you build me a Country-style Farm Table for our home?”

After several requests, I finally succumbed to her requests and did build a table; one completely from scratch…which we enjoyed for a couple of years with friends and neighbors.


Some time later, our next door neighbors moved into town and opened a new business, Encore Resales Consignment & Thrift Market.   Needless to say, our close friends had anticipated that my wife would help out at their new store.  She did, ..and guess what was one of the 1st items she consigned at the store?  Yep!, you guessed it, the hand-crafted farm table from our dining room.

After that, the rest is history.  We now have Just Fine Tables.

This is my thank you note to the Twitter Staff that I am very thankful that they took my TheExperimenter account out of suspension.  The account with my followers and following was and is very critical to my social and business network.  Again, Thanks Twitter.


Note: Be careful of automated following and follower systems for Twitter.  Too much activity will get you suspended;  and it is painful and costly to get back up to speed on twitter if you would become permanently suspended and have to create a new account from scratch.

Thanks again Twitter for bringing @TheExperimenter back to life. The Experimenter has a lot of experiments to complete.
