WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BUILD A TABLE - footboard console table

When George got home from work he couldn't find my latest project.

I finished this console table and it looks and feels strickingly similar to one I did already.

I see what he means.

There are four main elements that I used to make this new table with.

The first are the legs, which came from a set of bed posts.

The end caps you may recall from another recent project.

The reclaimed surface used to be part of this desk below.

And finally the drawer front from a turn of the century dresser I

already redid many years ago for my nephews change table.

CAUTION:

the next photo could cause a dramatic reaction

Yes, this is my nephew and the giraffe was painted by my talented sister,

I have to admit I'm not the only one in the family with an attention to detail.

COTTAGE MEETS COUNTRY - cottage country cabinet

I was mulling around looking to do a fun furniture project and before I knew it

it was midnight and I had started to tear several pieces of furniture apart.

5 days later here is what came of all that demolition.

I saw something similar once and knew it would be a great display and storage piece.

I've been flip flopping from selling it, to keeping it, and back to selling it, so it is up for grabs.

It has a wonderful blend of cottage styling with country charm.

It is finished in a bright white with lots of distressed detailing of all the wood used.

If you had not guessed yet it started as simple 5ft pine dresser.

I used a set of legs from a small country kitchen table to lift it up.

20 drawer sides were used to build the 2 interior shelves

and 8 drawer fronts were needed for the top of the cabinet.

I stole the original top of the dresser for the bottom shelf.

It is a nice thick solid piece of pine making the base super strong and sturdy.

Each shelf opening got a delicate edge trim all the way around.
