My garage has been SO full of rehab projects that I have had neither the time nor the space to build anything for a while! Last week after I finally got most of what needed to be done…well, done…it moved into the house for a while and I squeezed out a few square feet of space to build.
I loved this rustic console / buffet table I built a few months ago, and I have wanted to make another one. The plans for this one came from the Sawdust Girl.
I finished the top and legs with a custom gray/brown stain mix, but then I used a little ebony stain on the edges for a more weathered look.
My favorite part is this center shelf. I came across a whole bunch of 5” strips of plywood in the scrap pile at Lowe’s. I bought the whole lot of it for just such a project as this!
I ripped each strip in half, so mine are about 2.5” wide. I nailed a cleat around the inside of the shelf so I could lay the strips neatly in place. The fun part, of course, was using multiple stains for the plywood…I used ebony, golden pecan, mahogany, and dark walnut. Then a few of them got a wash of teal paint. There is no rhyme or reason to their placement…I just went with what looked good to me.
I’m really happy with how it turned out, and anxious to do something similar with the rest of the plywood!
Just have to clear space in my garage…again!
This project has been featured at Elizabeth & Co. and Coastal Charm.

Wow Korrie, love that table - nice job!!
ReplyDeleteVery creative use of scrap lumber - love the multi-colored strips.
ReplyDeleteLove this! We need another table in our entrance....I wonder if I could convince my husband to make this for me??
ReplyDeleteHi Korrie, a GREAT table! May I ask a huge favor ? Can you send me a picture of the underneath of the table ? And maybe a close up showing how you attached the boards that make up the apron onto the legs ? I have a table I found at an estate sale, and someone botched the job trying to stabilize it, so I want to repair it with a proper apron. I'd be much appreciative whenever you might find a few moments. Thank you for considering this. I'd love if my table turned out half as nice as yours!
