Build your own stunning modern farmhouse console table with free plans by Ana-White.com
Add style and function to your space with our Modern Farmhouse Console Table.
In a just right (but easy to customize size!) there's lots to love about this one. For scale, the mirror shown on the console is 24" x 36", there are three standard pillows stacked, and the basket is a small milk crate size.
Why We Love It
- Gorgeous unique look
- Solid wood construction so you can stain or paint any color of your choice
- Build using off the shelf lumber
- Simple construction - no pocket holes or plywood
- Elevated bottom shelf is easy to reach baskets, bins, blankets, shoes and more
- Perfect sized top shelf for decor and storage
How I Use It
I use this console table in my living room, in a space next to our wood burning fireplace. I filled the lower area with wood and use the top for decor and it's also useful for just setting things here and there.
Build the Entire Collection
It matches our Modern Farmhouse Coffee Table and other plans in the collection.
Video Tutorial
This console table follows the same steps to build as the coffee table in this collection with just different leg lengths. Here is the video for your convenience.

I love your plans!! So easy…
I love your plans!! So easy to follow!! I’ve made the coffee table and the end table from this collection, my next project is the console table. I’m finishing them with the Briarsmoke also. These pieces are all going to my son who will get out of the Army this fall and will start school right away. He is going to need some furniture at a bargain price. These are definitely a bargain price, but they look high-end. Thanks for everything you do, you are appreciated ❤️

Wood spieces?
Hi Ana,
My wife saw your modern farmhouse collection online and immediately asked me to build our entire livingroom furniture set using those designs! I'm modifying your desk design to make a TV stand that matches up with the design style of the rest of the pieces too!!! My question for you is this, What species of wood did you use when you built these pieces? My wife loves the stain you chose as well, but is concerned that if I use Pine, it may not stain as well. It says "off the shelf" lumber. Is that Pine/SPF? My wife is asking for Oak (for better staining properties), but the cost difference is obscene!
Love your plans and work! Thanks in advance for your help!
