Remember this?
I repainted it. I sanded it down a little and primed over it. Then I did this:
I plan on giving it to my sister as soon as she has a house that's not for sale or rented. Until then, it stays with me. ;)

Console Table
I built this. I painted it. I like it.
I didn't take step-by-step photos. I used 1x2s, 1x4s, and 1x6s. I also used a lot of wood filler. I used a jig saw, a compound miter saw, and a circular saw. The lumber cost just under $70. The cost of nails, screws, wood filler, wood glue, paint, stain, etc probably brought the total cost to $120. I got the drawer pulls off an old dresser; I spray painted them a caramel latte color.
It sits next to the front door. It has lots of room for shoes, and the drawers provide a nice place for dog leashes, gloves, hats, etc. I was again inspired by Ana's Knock-Off Wood site, but I designed a custom piece to serve my needs. As I was painting it, I was struck by the thought that it would make a nice changing table for a baby. Anyway, I drew up my own color-coded plans, and started building.
As I went along, I had to modify things just a bit, but as you can see, it worked out.
It was a happy accident that the electrical outlet is still accessible.
