Handcrafted Farmhouse Sofa Table (Plus My Tip on How-To Hide Cords!)

Handcrafted Farmhouse Sofa Table (Plus My Tip on How-To Hide Cords!)

Handcrafted Farmhouse Sofa Table

Last week on the blog, I shared our new handcrafted farmhouse coffee table and happened to mentioned that we also built a matching sofa table. Since we’ve moved into our new home over the Thanksgiving holiday, I’ve been really taking my time on putting the house together. I like to keep it real for y’all. So, I’m not ashamed to say that I’m still unpacking in March. Real life is definitely that messy bookcase in the background. (Sorry, y’all, we live here- HA!)

But, first off, I just want to say thank you to everyone who follows along on this crazy journey of ours. While we may not be perfect (hence, the bookcase), I really hope that we inspire you to embrace the mess and make it your message. We really want to help you be intentional creating your own spaces to gather and retreat. And while those spaces may not be society’s definition of perfect, it’s about loving the space you’re in. It’s perfect because it’s yours and you make it serve you and your loved ones well.

Meanwhile, there is so much that I am wanting to do this Spring and Summer as our schedules start to wind down a little bit more. But, I am beyond excited to share with you on the blog today one of the newest additions to our living room: a handcrafted farmhouse sofa table!

Handcrafted Farmhouse Sofa Table (Plus My Tip on How-To Hide Cords!)

Why a sofa table?

When we were in the process of building this piece, I had so many people ask why I decided to have Rob build a sofa table instead of end tables. The answer was quite simple: end tables wouldn’t fit in our living room! With our living room in the shape of a smaller/skinnier rectangle, end tables would have limited the size of furniture that we’d be able to fit in the space. We already have to replace our furniture eventually with pieces that fit the layout of our space better. So, we wanted to build a piece that would work along the backside of any sofa that we picked. Sofa tables are a great option for tighter spaces and pulling the room together. Meanwhile, they can support lighting and other storage options that make them the perfect alternative to end tables.

Classic Farmhouse Style

When I think of classic farmhouse, I think of barns and barn doors. I have a huge love for barn doors and an even bigger love for neutrals throughout the home. We really wanted that X detail to be a detail that flowed throughout our home. Right now you’ll see it with our coffee table, sofa table, dining room table, and some new nightstands and headboard that Rob is currently working on for our master suite. Like the farmhouse coffee table, I really wanted to design this piece to be one that could grow with us through the years. I also wanted to design them to match so that they would pull the entire space together as a set.

Like the farmhouse coffee table, I have been anxiously awaiting to share this with y’all on the blog till after our big launch. Rob also built this up for me off of a simple drawing, and I think it turned out absolutely amazing! I just know you are going to love it as much as I do! The best part? If you love it and you’re local, we’ll make one for you! Drop us a line on our contact page, and let’s chat!

BONUS: My Tip on How-To Hide Cords

There’s just something about loose cords everywhere that itches my OCD side. Not to mention, with open shelving they can really make an otherwise clean and perfect space look disorganized and messy. When it comes to hiding cords with open shelving, it can be tricky. But, I promise you’ll be racing to the store after reading this quick and easy trick on hiding those pesky cords.

Command Hooks!

You read that right. I use those little clear command hooks to hide the cords on pieces like this farmhouse sofa table. They’re easy to use, move around, and stick right on the piece of furniture without damaging it. The only trick is to make sure that your cords are long enough to run alongside the piece of furniture to whichever outlet you’re wanting to plug it in to. In this case, I just needed the cords to run down the outer legs, and I just let it run along the floor to the surge protector. This surge protector is then plugged into an outlet with a decorative cord cover – making it look so much nicer than it would have otherwise. So next time you’re annoyed with hiding cords, try this little trick!

I really hope that y’all loved this handcrafted farmhouse sofa table as much as I did. It is the perfect compliment piece to go with our farmhouse coffee table. I can’t get enough of how it pulls the whole living room together without taking up as much space.

Spring gardening is right around the corner, and I Spring gardening is right around the corner, and I’m already starting to get ours prepped thanks to @walmart Lawn and Garden! #AD With a newborn and a toddler, running errands can be quite the task. But thanks to #WalmartLawnandGarden, I’ve been able to get everything I need to kickstart our garden this year in one place — from the convenience of snuggling my babies on my couch with Walmart.com and the app! The time it saved me from running all over town, I got to spend making core memories with John as we taught him how to start his very first set of seeds in the @jiffygroup seed starting tray. 

Here’s a look at what we got to kickstart our garden this year:
- The @jiffygroup Seed Starting Greenhouse Kit: to grow our own seedlings and get a head start on the season by starting them indoors! 
- The  @ferrymorseseed Seed Starting Heat Mat: to give our seeds the best chance possible to promote germination and improve transplant results 
- Ferry Morse Seeds (flowers, tomatoes, and peppers!) 
- @pennington Rejuvenate Potting Mix and Garden Soil: to give our seedlings the nutrients they need once transplanted into our garden 
- Pennington Rejuvenate Tomato Plant Food
- @scottslawn Landscaping Fabric: to keep our garden clean and free of pesky weeds
- The @flexonhose Flextreme Advanced 100ft Hose: to keep it all watered without fighting kinks as we move easily around our raised garden beds

Add this kit to your cart now ➡️ https://click2cart.com/59600bc

Get a jumpstart on your spring and summer garden this year by shopping everything you need at Walmart, in-store or online at Walmart.com. And stay tuned to see how our garden comes together and grows this year!

James was born last Friday morning, and spent the first 5 days in the NICU for some breathing issues and fluid in his lungs. While those days were extremely rough, trying, and brought back a lot of emotions from Layne’s birth — God is so good, and my heart is just overwhelmed by His faithfulness. My favorite moment in life thus far was surprising John before bedtime the night we were finally discharged to come home. I’ll never forget the look on his face when I walked through that door. Thank you, Jesus, for my babies. 🦋💛 #ahostinghome

✨ STUDY REVEAL ✨ I got a lot of nervous respon ✨ STUDY REVEAL ✨ I got a lot of nervous responses when I said I wanted to design an all black formal study right off my entryway, but I’m completely obsessed with every detail of this space. Rob has always wanted a study, so my goal with this space when it’s finished is to have almost like a moody, swanky cigar lounge feel. When we moved into this house this spring, I told Rob I was done playing it “safe for resale” with designing projects. Here’s to more of doing whatever the heck I want design wise in 2023! 👏🏼✨ Next up: let’s get this space styled and furnished! #ahostinghome

“And with that, the 2022 season comes to an end. “And with that, the 2022 season comes to an end.” ✨🎄 When do you take your Christmas decor down? The Christmas decor got put away earlier this week, and the house always feels so empty every year when it gets taken down! I was going to wait till next week to take it down, but with only 3 weeks left until baby arrives I’m finding myself in total nesting mode right now. Behind the scenes we’ve been putting finishing touches on the study while Rob was off work for Christmas, so I’ll be sharing all the photos and updates on that to the feed soon. In the meantime, who wants to come organize closets and baby stuff with me?! 😜 #ahostinghome
