I finally finished building my entry table!! It was not hard to make but it took me awhile because my daughter had been really sick and I couldn't really work on any projects. After two weeks of her being sick though she is finally coming around!! I have been searching for an entry table for probably 8 months now. I have a funny spot when you walk into my house that needed something done with it but with its wacky dimensions nothing was working. I saw this table online and really wanted it! Like I've said hundreds of times though, why buy something when you can make it yourself. I surly was not going to spend over $200 on a table.
I got really, really lucky and randomly came across this awesome tutorial for an entry table here. I copied almost everything exactly as she explained because I loved it so much. It was very similar in looks to what I was searching for and was so glad I found it! The only thing I changed was the dimension of the table from what she gave to what would suit my needs for my little space.
This is what the table looked like when it was all put together and while I was waiting for the faux drawers to dry.
Once everything was nice and sturdy I stained the entire table. It is not necessary to stain the entire table but I wanted to rough it up a little after I painted it and wanted a darker color to come through instead of the bare pine color. You could totally get away with only staining the table top though.
And this is what it looked like before I put the knobs on. It fits perfectly in my entry way. I am so happy with how it turned out! Now all I have left to finish is decoration and putting up the final details to really make it into a real entry way. :)
