Handy "Mommy"

This is the LARGE end table to fit into a large corner between our two couches...still in garage drying.
Here is the front intrance table, my favorite!


Well, a friend inspired me to make some furniture for our front room. Here is what Ryan and I did. I planned out what I wanted, then took a trip to Home Depot, then went to work. Ryan cut the wood for me with his saw and I pretty much did the rest. It was more work than I thought it would be, but it was a lot of fun and cheaper than buying furniture already made. Here is the outcome. They are black with some edges roughed up. I wanted it to look worn, but not too much.

I'm going to make a table for my entry as well. Who did you get the idea from? I think the same girl inspired me too!

Allison! You have just got me inspired. I have been lookig for an entry table, but most of them are very ornate, with gold stuff. Love this one. Looks like others do too, do you have the measurements to pass on ? I would love a copy. Just post them if you are willing to share.
