Cheyenne’s Barn Door Dining Table
Cheyenne Weaver’s 1930’s home in Austin, Texas is full of eclectic, handmade details and DIY projects, but none make her as proud as the dining table she constructed from an old barn door. I love how welcoming it looks sitting in front of those old wood-wrapped windows!Cheyenne’s inspiration for her kitchen and home come primarily from the many farms she’s worked on in Northern California, Colorado, the Puget Sound, and the Virgin Islands.
