The Outdoor – Indoor BUFFET BAR TABLE ISLAND previously shown at Just Fine Table’s Website in the construction phase is complete and is available to the Greater Birmingham Furniture Market at Encore Resales.

Here are a couple of views of the Buffet Bar Table Island showing its versatility for outdoor or indoor use.

The Buffet Bar Table Island is conveniently sized at 19″ W x 54″ L x 36″ Tall and as shown comes with a convenient shelf for easy access storage.

ALSO, while completing the Table Island, Just Fine Tables was successful completing one of the other projects in our listing of upcoming projects in our previous post.

Here is the last of our current Small Handmade Outdoor – Indoor Tables-

28″ x 36″ OUTDOOR – INDOOR TABLE

This table, like our previous ones is 100% handmade of pressure treated lumber that has been specially aged for distinction and character.

The small table and the table island are currently available to you at Encore Resales Furniture and Consignment Store in Pelham AL unless they have found new homes while making this post. Seriously! It is true! Encore Resales’ motto of ‘Get Them When You See Them‘ plays out each and everyday.

FYI- An Up-Styled PUB TABLE and a 2′ x 4′ TABLE DESK will be available soon from Just Fine Tables and J’s-AVE.

From Just Fine Tables

After our Big Ticket Items (see composite picture at bottom of post) decided to find new homes…..

Just Fine Tables luckily was in the process of completing a small Outdoor-Indoor Table that could be used anywhere. It is a table designed for sitting things on while entertaining, or the like. And, as you can see, it has a storage rack below (the rack was added for storage on the 30″ tall table).

And, since the picture does not show the top as it should, here is a close-up of the top…

Distressed Table Top

The table is built completely with treated lumber and is partially stained with deck stain. Other parts are painted with exterior paint and the entire table has had an application of exterior polyurethane for superior protection and long term service.

As you can see in the picture, new homes were found for our Handmade Farm Table with Matching Bench and Chairs, our Refinished Round Pedestal Table with 2 Leaves and Six Up-Styled Chairs (originally built in Italy), and last, but not least… a 40″ Square Outdoor – Indoor Coffee Table.

Our business, Just Fine Tables, has been quite busy recently completing a number of projects, and as a result, we have been a little behind updating our website.
To make amends to our followers and viewers, a number of our recent projects will be presented in this posting for you and our other Birmingham Alabama area furniture fans.

#1- Customer Requested ‘Cherry Top’ Small Table with Straight Black Legs-
Custom “CHERRY TOP” Small Table built to Customer Specifications

Note: This small table was rebuilt from a slightly larger table that Just Fine Tables purchased from a friend. This was a fun project as this was the first time we had ever re-sized a table.

#2-Up-Styled Lingerie Chest with Jewelry Box-
5-Drawer LIngerie Chest with Jewelry Box

Note: My partner and I found this unique lingerie chest in a Memphis, TN Goodwill store and brought it back to Alabama in the back seat of our car ( very tight fit). We took our time making some minor repairs and re-styling it to today’s furniture tastes.

FYI- The Lingerie Chest became a perfect example of an Encore Resales slogan (i.e.”Buy it when you see it!”) The chest found a new owner within 3.5 hours of arriving at the Encore Resales store.

#3- An Up-Styled King Headboard-

NOTE: Items #3 above and #4 below are currently available to you at Encore Resales.

and, #4- We added Matching Upholstered Chairs to our 54″ Round Pedestal Table with Two Leaves-

FYI- The Six Matching Chairs were built in ITALY. Just Fine Tables updated and reupholstered them to complement the 54″ Pedestal Table. Check them out on Craigslist for additional information.

FROM— JUST FINE TABLES

JUST FINE TABLES is in the process of completing a Customer Requested Porch Table to go into their lake side getaway. It is not complete yet, but I thought it cool to let you see it in construction. Why?, because we normally build tables upside down. Seriously, we build tables upside down.

Here is a picture of the Porch Table as it is currently situated-
Porch Table in Construction

The table will be righted later today and the finishing touches applied to make it look old with lots and lots of old wood and used character.

I know that folks like to see finished products, but again, I thought it cool to let you have a feel for what really happens in our workshop.

Also, in or around our workshop a few other things have been touched. Here are a few…

Just Fine Tables recently finished Refinishing and Up-styling a “Heavy Butcher Block Top” Drop Leaf Table and its two (2) Matching Stools while building a few custom tables. In addition to this drop leaf table having a one of a kind “Butcher Block” top, its legs are supported on casters to allow easy relocation (for example: cleaning underneath).

Here is the BUTCHER BLOCK TABLE and Stools as displayed at Encore Resales Consignment and Furniture Store-

As noted in the picture caption, the Drop Leaf Table expands from 20″ x 36″ (with leaves down) to a Full 36″ x 48″ (with both leaves up) and secured in place.

Additionally, while refinishing the drop leaf table above, Just Fine Tables had the pleasant opportunity to help our partner, J’s-AVE, with one of her projects. Her project was the refinishing and up-styling of a Unique Dual-Pedestal Base Coffee Table.

Here is the Dual-Pedestal Base Coffee Table as Redone-

Please Note: Our partner decided that the color scheme for the coffee table would be such that it would be Most Suitable for a Beach Home or Cottage Getaway. She hopes you agree. As with the drop leaf table, the dual-pedestal coffee table is currently available at Encore Resales Furniture and Consignment Store.

Should You have a Need for A Special or Custom Handmade Table, please Feel Free to Contact Just Fine Tables and we will see what we can do for you.

Coffee Tables: …a “Man Cave” Coffee Table, a Beach / Cottage Getaway Coffee Table, and a Den – Leisure Coffee Table have led the construction of New 2013 Handmade Tables by Just Fine Tables.

These Coffee Tables are Currently Available to the public at ENCORE RESALES Furniture and Consignment Store.

Note: If you would be interested in one of the coffee tables, you might want to visit Encore Resales soon. Otherwise, you might find that the coffee table of your choice has already found a new home.
‘This was the case of a Kitchen Island’ that Just Fine Tables built at about the same time as the coffee tables. The Kitchen Island found a new home almost immediately upon display at Encore.

This is the Handmade Kitchen Island we built and sold almost immediately at Encore Resales-

Hope 2013 Is A Banner Year For You!

Here are a couple of pictures of Just Fine Tables’ custom Farm Tables built and delivered to customers in December 2012.

We mentioned in a previous post that Just Fine Tables could build only two (2) Custom Farm Tables before the Christmas holidays. Here are the farm tables we built and delivered:

Custom “Country Estate” Farm Table:

Please note this Country Estate Farm Table is virtually identical to previous farm tables built by Just Fine Tables; however, this table is 100% stained to match the customer’s existing chairs and related furniture.

The table was ordered by the customer directly through Encore Resales and because this table had to be delivered by Encore Resales with additional furniture, we were unable to be part of the delivery team to the customer’s home. (That is why the edited picture above shows the table just before it was loaded into the Encore Resales delivery van. The extra legs and shoes Are Not part of the table.).

HOWEVER, the Customer “Made our December” by sending us an email after the delivery. Here is the first part of the email-

[Hi Frank. I just wanted to send you an email and let you know that I LOVE my table. Its so beautiful. I just want to stay home tonight and look at it. The stain is perfect and I can't wait to sit down and have a meal on it.]

The other Farm Table built and delivered in December and presented in a previous blog post is shown again here:

Custom ‘Rustic’ Farm Table with ‘Matching Rustic’ Bench:

Both custom farm tables were hand built from scratch, except that the table legs were purchased ‘turned’ table legs from Osborne Wood Products. Of course, Just Fine Tables did the staining, finishing, and added the attachment hardware to allow the table legs to be removable.

NEW ORDERS- SHOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE A CUSTOM FARM TABLE or OTHER CUSTOM TABLE (Ex. Kitchen Island, Wine Bar Buffet Table, Coffee Table, etc.) PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT US.

Just Fine Tables recently finished building and delivering this customer requested Hand Built COUNTRY FARM TABLE and Matching RUSTIC BENCH.

The customer specified that a sturdy rustic farm table sized approximately 32″ x 54″ would fit nicely in their eating area. The customer also wanted a rustic ‘matching’ bench to go with the Country Farm Table.

As you can see in the picture, the color scheme was for the table and bench tops to be stained semi-dark and that the legs and aprons on both to be painted white and at the same time; to look old, distressed, and beat up to a degree. (The customer has young kids.)

The above table is the 1st of our customer requests to be filled this month (recall that Just Fine Tables could only fill 2 table requests this month and that orders were 1st come, 1st served).
Our 2nd table in being built currently to be complete within the next 4-5 days. It will be very similar to our “Country Chic” Farm Table with the only real difference being that the table will be stained only (i.e. no paint).

Note: Just Fine Tables has One More Opening / Order Available for a custom Farm Table to be built in January. Again, 1st Come, 1st Served.

In the event that we do not have a chance to update our blog before the holidays, please know that Just Fine Tables’ extends…
A Very MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR to YOU and YOURS.
