I found this piece at Pinhook Flea Market in Lafayette. I love the size and shape of it. I knew it would be perfect for a small space in a kitchen, a bathroom or dorm room.

Countertop is done :)
Amazon affiliate links are used in this post The countertop is in. I love it!! It's perfectly imperfect and just what I wanted for this room. I love the look of wood. To protect the finish on the boards, I'm going to wax the countertop with Minwax Finishing Wax. This is the first time I use this product. So here goes.
