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?

Lynn Ellis on Aug 12, 2016Very welcome ! I love looking at all the things on Hometalk. I had never heard of it until this past week. Lol. I'm saving everything that I love in two places so if I lose one I still have it. This site is awesome.

Lynn Ellis on Aug 12, 2016I have to agree. This is all I do in my spear time. 😊💚 Its more addicting than Pinterest. But I love it pretty well too!!! And thank you.

Christy Roppel on Aug 14, 2016It is really nice. However, my one "concern" is that is doesn't seem to hold many beverages.

Rob & Courtney M, Hometalk Team on Aug 14, 2016That's understandable...when the Hometalk crew came to my house for our live Facebook segment, I was able to fit about 5-6 20 oz. drinks and ice so I was pretty pleased with that.
