While selling our first investment property, we realized we needed to stage it, and so we had to get everything planned, purchased and set up in 5 days before an open house. I needed furniture for the master bedroom, so one day I made 2 side tables and a console table, mostly from my scrap pile! I love the simple but rustic feel they have.
These basic plans for an accent table that can easily be adjusted to fit your space and come together quickly. It’s a great starter project because there is some room for error! The most important part is making sure your legs are the same length and your front and back aprons match each other.
The plans I’m sharing here are for a table 30.75″H x 30″W X 11 1/2″ D. You can easily change the height, depth, length, etc. You can also change the look by using different sized boards for your aprons or by using 2x’s for your top.
Here’s what you need:
4 2x2s @ 30″ – legs You can buy high quality 2x2s at the big box stores, but they cost quite a bit more. I used 2×2 furring strips and just looked through the pile until I found nice straight ones.
2 1x4s @ 7 1/2″ – side aprons
2 1x4s @ 26″ – front and back aprons
Board for top – this could be several pieces of 1x put together, such as I did, or a 1×12 cut to length
I used:
1 1×4, 2 1x2s, and 2 1x3s, all cut to 30″
That’s it! I left my nail holes open to give it more character on top. I then used my go-to white, Sherwin Williams Pure White, on the base and my new favorite stain technique on the top.
