Changes! Sometimes I like changes. But, this change is one I will hate. My daughter will move out in less than a year to go to college. I can't talk about it or I will bawl. But it will happen and my middle son is so excited to have his own room, he can hardly wait. We put a queen bed in her room, recently. It is a small room so it is all bed, but my son will need a queen bed by the time he gets in there. He is growing like crazy.
I know that is a long way to get around to how I need a table but now I need a bedside table for this bed. (It also needs a headboard but that will have to be later.)
I have built alot of furniture in my craft/boutiquing days. But I had hung up my tool belt for a long needed break. I dusted it off for the
murphy bed project so it was ready to go.
I used a 2x4 cut length wise for the legs. My table is 24 inches high.
Each side is a 1x6 cut to 12 inches long.
I drilled holes then screwed two screws in through the 2x2 leg and into the 1x6x12". Then I did the same with all sides. The top measures 18"x18". I glued and nailed it with finish nails.
I filled the holes with wood putty. The holes where the screws went in I filled with wood plugs.
I routed the edges and sanded the whole thing. Ooops! I forgot about the fake drawer. I cut a scrap piece of pine down to about 1x4x10". Glued a wood knob on and glued it to the front to look like a drawer front.
Now I have another problem. As I said, in less than a year my son will take over this room and it will be painted and redone. So I don't want to paint this table to match her room now, which would be white. I know that I will want it stained for his room along with whatever headboard I make. So anyway, here it is.
She will probably just use it unfinished. At least until I decide what to do. Changes, Humph!
This table was built for less than $20. Could be done cheaper if you just used planks on the top. I used a 18"x4' board that cost $15 but I have enough left for another larger table. Not bad!
I will be joining the linky parties below so go check 'em out.
Used some scrap plywood for the back and began putting the barn wood in. Cutting it on an angle and fitting it in one by one.
