Farmhouse end table

Submitted by omnia on Tue, 07/28/2020 - 16:30

Made the smaller one from the plans and stained with Minwax jacobean.

My wood was pretty rough, so a lot of time was spent sanding. Other than that, pretty straightforward project.

Our version of the Rustic X Console Table

We LOVE this Rustic X Console table! We used a Kona stain and we took the iron hardware and rusted it up with heat, vinegar, salt and hydrogen peroxide.

This was for my 5 year old son and it was much easier than we thought it would be! We didn't have a nailer when we did this and wish we had one! Get a nailer for this project!

Our fireplace only had a  granite surround and was lacking personality. The wall that our fireplace is built into is kind of a strange size and all of the mantle kits won't fit our fireplace. It wasn't until I ran across Ana's plans that I knew this was exactly what I wanted around our fireplace!  We adapted the plans a little bit, and created a ladder up the sides of the fireplace  to attach the front plate onto. I couldn't be more thrilled with how it turned out
