How to build a console with tiered hutch - inspired by Pottery Barn Seaton Console with turned legs.
Hi Everyone!!!!
Man do we ever have a plan treat for you today!!!
I've been on this kick lately of not just knocking things off .... but knocking things OUT!!!
Case in point ....
My dear friend Jen Woodhouse from House of Wood loved this discontinued foyer console table from Pottery Barn ....
Jen wanted something a tiny bit fancier, by adding turned legs to the base ...
Oh. My. Goodness.
How beautiful is this!!!
If you are going to make something, you might as well make something awesome, right?
Jen shares lots more photos and details on her blog - go check it out!!!
See you back here. Of course, plans follow.
Enjoy!

Please read through the entire plan and all comments before beginning this project. It is also advisable to review the Getting Started Section. Take all necessary precautions to build safely and smartly. Work on a clean level surface, free of imperfections or debris. Always use straight boards. Check for square after each step. Always predrill holes before attaching with screws. Use glue with finish nails for a stronger hold. Wipe excess glue off bare wood for stained projects, as dried glue will not take stain. Be safe, have fun, and ask for help if you need it. Good luck!
Instructions
Step 1
Build the basic table shape by attaching aprons to the turned legs.
TIP: Drill 3/4" pocket holes facing upward for attaching tabletop in next step prior to attaching aprons to legs.
Step 2
Attach tabletop to the aprons. Use 3/4" pocket holes in aprons and 1-1/4" pocket hole screws.

Jen added extra support underneath the tabletop by adding additional boards.
Step 4
Attach stretchers to legs at stretcher blocks. Hide 3/4" pocket holes on underside.
Step 5
Step 6

It is always recommended to apply a test coat on a hidden area or scrap piece to ensure color evenness and adhesion. Use primer or wood conditioner as needed.
