Anytime I can turn something drab into fab, I'm in! I'm constantly trying to find new, unique ways to add to my list of entertaining guests so when I came across the idea of making a mini drink station, I jumped at the challenge and gave it my own twist in the process. I don't have much room for one of those fancy shmancy drink carts (though I do long for the day I have space for one!) so for now, this project will have to do. This end table drink station fits perfectly in my kitchen and will be amazing when we have friends over for a nice meal.
I'm not a huge fan of yellow but I loved how the yellow chalk paint turned out on this piece!
Supplies:
STEP 1: Measure table top
STEP 2: Secure guide
STEP 3: Saw circle
STEP 4: Sand and paint table
STEP 5: Seal cracks
STEP 6: Secure drawer
STEP 7:Wrap bucket in plastic wrap
STEP 8: Fill table with insulation foam
STEP 9: Add bucket and let dry
Ain't it cute?! I can't wait for my friends to see this little drink station!
Enjoyed the project?
