Entryway Table, part 2 of 2, Final...

We turned this:


Into this:


With white paint, choice stain, and some poly for the old barnwood top piece. Really, I can't believe the difference the poly made with that barnwood:


Here it is decorated:


The last thing I need to do is fix/screw the top piece together with the structure. Maybe you can tell from this last pic, but the top looks a tad bit off kilter for me. But I can assure you, it wont be staying that way for long. Anyway, fun piece!

Until the next project...

Entryway Table, Part 1...

We wanted a little table for our main entryway, and I really wanted to do a project with 4x4s.

I bought 1: 8' long 4x4, and 1: 2x8x8.

Cut them to size:


Used some wood screws and metal brackets, and threw this together:


Beat up the corners and edges a bit with a hammer:


Added a beefy foot with a bunch of metal and visible screw heads for a potentially industrial-ish look. We plan on painting them a contrasting color as the legs/feet:


For the last touch, added a slab of old barn wood leftover from our previous room reno project (barn wood beam coverup):


Now we have to paint, sand, stain & oil!

Stay tuned, this one is going to turn out great...
