A customer of ours emailed the plans for this console table to me from Ana's site and asked if I could build it for her. I must say, the plans were laid out so well I believe my 8 year old could have built it. Well done Ana!
I made the color scheme what the customer asked for and I think it turned out pretty decent. I also have to say that I would typically wing it when it came to building stuff, but after seeing how the plans on this site are laid out so well, I will definitely be changing my practices. I have read a lot of great helpful tips, tricks, and hints on this site. I've only been doing this for about 6 months, so I need all the help I can get!
Thanks again, Ana, for being such a great source of information and inspiration!

Finish Used
ON the table base I used a minwax Walnut stain on the bare wood, then applied a coat of Krylon Almond paint. I distressed the paint with a 5" orbital sander and 120 grit sand paper. I then applied two coats of Minwax wipe-on Polyurethane Satin finish. I did the same on the top, minus the almond paint. After the poly coats were applied I wiped the entire piece down with an orange oil/bee's wax mixture, let it dry, then buffed it with a soft clean cloth.
