DIY Rustic Console Table

How many times have you walked into a store and found a beautiful piece of furniture that makes your heart go pitter patter… until you see the price tag? For me it’s too many times to count. Although HomeGoods is generally the first place I stop when shopping for home accessories, it’s also one of my favorite shops to find inspiration.
Last year I came across this gorgeous rustic console table, but with a price of $500 it was out of my budget. Booooooo. Luckily, I was able to find the DIY plans online and helped my husband build it for about $75. You can view the full post and link to the building plans from Design Confidential over on my blog.

I am still thinking about adding some industrial hardware to the console table, but this is what it looks like in our bedroom. I love that it's on casters and can easily be moved too.

Let me also say that at the time I really didn’t know much about treated wood but have since read numerous {conflicting} articles stating it should really only be used outdoors, and to use extra caution when using it. Although we haven’t had any issues, we would have used the untreated wood had it been available {it also would have been less expensive}.
Here is the console table built by my awesome hubby. I was his helper and did the staining but he definitely gets the credit on this one :)
My original plan was to use the tea/vinegar/steel wool homemade stain but since the treated wood had a greenish tint to it, I wound up going over it with a dark walnut so that it would all look cohesive.

Redoing granddaughters bedroom. We will be doing something like this in white against a navy wall. Your idea showed me that this would eliminate the need for floating shelves and a place for her tv. It's great. Love the rustic baskets. We have so many just holding stuff.
