Narrow cottage end tables

Submitted by dmcarwin on Wed, 04/11/2012 - 07:55

These plans were the perfect little end tables for my "sitting area" in my kitchen. I went out and found scraps from my pile in the shed and only had to buy one 1x3! With my kids I rarely have time to do a project in one day. I measure one day, cut and sand another, and then build another. These babies sat unfinished by my couch for a couple of months, and I FINALLY finished them! Yea! I love them! It is my first attempt at painting furniture and distressing, it's not perfect, but I am happy to have a little more confidence! I love the tables! Thanks Ana!

Built from Plan(s)
Estimated Cost
Used boards on hand- so approx 15.00 for paint and a 1x3
Estimated Time Investment
Day Project (6-9 Hours)
Finish Used
I got a turquoise paint from walmart and lost the color sample (sorry)! I stained the top with Rustoleum's Dark Walnut Ultimate wood stain (dries so fast) and you only need one coat. I then distressed the edges and put stain on and wiped off right away. I finished with a coat of water based poly. I used my new command max home right hvlp sprayer! LOVE it! $75 dollars worth every penny!
