Jon and I built quite a few tables. At one time I thought I'd sell some. We built them with similar legs, and always with storage area below--mainly because it added strength to a relatively heavy table. I still have this table, it sits on the west side of the front porch. I've used it for storage, for a potting table, for a serving table. Its been a great old table.
A journal about life in Wisconsin, decorating, and restoring an 1893 Queen Anne Victorian built by Civil War veteran John Olson Wrolstad and his wife Mathea. Read on to see lots of old photographs, and read stories of the second owners Thomas and Maren Quien, and their children who filled the house with memories for 90 years. Very First Photo I Took of the House Feb 18, 2007 - 30 minutes after we bought the house.
