No. 40 a little bit made me fall in love with barn wood all over again. I know barn wood is being used on everything everywhere- especially barn wood tables. Here at 508 it is everywhere too. I can’t help it. This custom dining table is A-MAZING. I am going to show you pictures and write about it….but it was Nathan who made this happen. 100%. From design to building to completion…this was all him…and it works out well because Read More
You might have sneaked a peek or you maybe didn’t notice…but you might have seen our yellow-footed friend posing next to Minty {No. 34} in the Lilla Vän shoot… He is a new addition to our 508made family of stools & side tables.

Just usable furniture that brings color to your home… These pieces are NOT perfect Read More
{See PART ONE of our DIY headboard here} {See PART TWO of our DIY headboard here} PART THREE: installed in our room! Are we all as excited as I am? We FINALLY have a headboard! We love how it turned out in the end and feel like it has brought something personal to a much neglected bedroom. You might notice that we have no end tables- or anything, really. I have never really hung a picture or put any effort Read More
{See PART ONE of our DIY headboard here} PART TWO: Finishing/Sealing Ok, so here was the BIG dilemma: We really REALLY loved the gray weathered look of the barn wood. Problem is, as soon as you start any significant sanding, you loose the gray. Also, it seemed like every finish we tried darkened the gray. We love the variations in the original of dark and light gray and wanted to keep that as much as possible. So after much hemming Read More
