About Project
After making Ana's Farmhouse Bedside Table I realized that in my tiny bedroom I wouldn't get away with two pieces that big. That's when the Mini Farmhouse Bedside Table was born.

General Instructions
Follow instructions for the original Farmhouse Bedside Table at: http://ana-white.com/2011/01/farmhouse-bedside-table
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!
Finishing Instructions
Be sure to label EACH cut piece as it is VERY easy to confuse pieces.

Love the paint!
I love the paint technique that you used on this? Do you mind me asking what you used and how you did it?
Thanks!

4 instead of 2 side trim
I'm building this right now, and I noticed that the side trim only says two, but there needs to be four. Just FYI. Thanks so much for these plans--it's a blast to build!
Hurricane Capable
I am building the mini-table and it is so sturdy that I plan to hide under it during the next hurricane. Only change I have made is to make the legs 18" so it is a side table next to my chair in the TV room. I am also considering having the drawer overlap the front to hide my imperfections. Since I do most everything with hand tools it is easy to be a sixteenth of an inch off and over the course of the entire project that small of a measure can make a noticeable difference.
