We have been using TV trays as bedside tables for two years. The room is a work in progress... I was waiting to find the perfect pieces...or a plan to build the perfect pieces! So glad I found that plan here. Too impatient to wait for nice weather to head outside, I built this in February on my kitchen floor. It was a little messy and a little dusty, but I am a lot happy with the result :). Cheers.

Finish Used
I mixed white paint and water and used a rag to apply the whitewash. I let it dry and then sanded it to create an uneven coverage so that the following stain coat would soak in. I then distressed the piece, applied a coat of dark walnut stain, and wiped it off to create an aged/antiqued look.
