New Side Tables for Our Living Room!!!

Submitted to Community Chat

It was time to get rid of the little cheapy black plastic tables we were using, which were originally in the basement of our old house.  As I've said before, I hate to buy something when I know I can make it.  HA!  So, here they are!  

These are made from 2 x 4's and 2 x 2's (I always rip my own 2 x 2's down from 2 x 4's).  I finished these with Varathane Dark Walnut stain and Rustoleum's Triple Thick Poly.  I added the metal brackets to the corners for a final touch, which I spray painted with Rustoleum's Metallic Oil-Rubbed Bronze.  I had originally planned on painting the screws after attaching the brackets, but decided I liked them silver better.  :)

I think overall, these probably cost me around $10-$15 each, and they look gorgeous in our living room!!!
