Farmhouse Tables Under $300

I have a dirty secret.  All this time you may have thought my house was so “pulled together”.  Not so.  This whole time I have had a dirty secret and it is living in my kitchen.

Que horror music….

My kitchen table is so awful I can’t even bear to show you.  I have tried and worked at this table trying to save it.  It was given to us and had a not so nice stained top of cheap veneer imitation wood.  I followed the steps for using chalk paint all three times I have painted it, but alas, I think my family is just too rough on tables right now.

We are one of those families that sit at the table and eat dinner every night.  Luke always has a bowl of cereal before bed and the table is often used as a makeshift office in the evening.  It takes a beating and it shows.

I decided I just couldn’t live with this anymore.  I wanted a new table but knew I didn’t want to spend a fortune on it and building one from scratch (although affordable) isn’t something I want to tackle right now.  If the kids are rough on it I didn’t want to feel like it couldn’t be replaced 4-5 years down the line.  So I went on the hunt for a farmhouse table to mix in with my French coastal style and wanted to spend less than $300 on it.  I thought I would share what I found with you, in case you are on the hunt too.

1.  Wheaten Table by Target-$299.99

This has great farmhouse appeal.  I love the color of the wood and it looks like something you could build.  I love the bread board at the end of the top.  Too cute.

2.  Bryant Table from WalMart- $199.00

I love the modern feel of this table and honestly, you just can’t beat the price.  It has great reviews online and I think it would be so neat paired with some vintage chairs.

3.  Maddox Dining Table from WalMart- $274.99

If you are looking for a little farmhouse feel with a traditional coloring, this is the table for you.  I love that it extends.

4.  Wynnfield Table from Target- $249.99

This table has an awesome weathered wood top.  I also love the mix of oil rubbed bronze/black coloring.

5.  Antique Black Verona Trestle Table from World Market- $274.00

If you are looking for a trestle table this is a great option.  I love mixing a dark table with light colored chairs.  I think it is a fresh take on farmhouse.

So, which one is your favorite?  Which one do you think I should order?  I’ll be debuting it in my eating nook soon.
