SK's Half Way There Table

I needed a little table in my tiny, tiny bath. I had just under 20" next to the toilet. I wanted a little lamp for a night light. I could have just plugged in a little night light, but I wanted something a little prettier.
This is the promised post of my little handmade table. You can see more of the baths projects on this post: http://www.hometalk.com/diy/paint/walls/small-bathroom-redos-painting-mural-floral-4215773
I saw round cut pine at Lowes and thought about taking it and cutting it in half and using half for the top and half for a shelf below.
Cut the round wood in half. And sand.
Drill holes 1/2 deep for the top. Don't drill all the way through. This will be the table top and you don't want to have to fill and sand any more than you need too. Drill clear through for the bottom. Put the Shoe on before inserting the Balusters. The shoe has a little tightening screw. Tighten it down tight against the wood. You may want to finish or paint the wood before installing the legs and shoes.
The shoe on the underneath makes a nice foot. This also keeps the Balusters in place.
I have started to use the great storage and found great colored towels to match the copper patina and the crazy fun mural.
The vanity is painted with a copper and iron painted surface.
The little alcove next to the sink was the perfect spot for a few little and necessary shelves for bath items.
There is only one outlet in this room. I like to hide all my electrical gadgets wiring. I drilled holes through the bead board into the closet and ran an extension cord behind all the towels. This keeps my hairdryer and misc cords in the bottom basket. It keeps them plugged in at all times and somewhat out of view. I used a heavy duty cord and covered it with a electrical conduit for safety.

Ethel Edwards on Sep 15, 2014Love it all but my favorite is the wall behind all this. Did you actually paint this or use stencil?
