If you want to change the decoration of your living room, give it a little color. Here is a tutorial to create a functional and colorful coffee table using a simple wooden wine box lid.


1- we sand the box and the groove of the sliding plate so that it slides well despite the layers of paint and varnish that will be added


2- we sand well the black inscriptions

3- we paint it with homemade fuchsia chalk paint (recipe in my previous posts) we coated the wooden box avoiding filling the paint reinforcement, then the lid. When it is dry and lightly sanded, remove the dust and paint a second and a third layer of paint in the same way, then varnish with two coats.

4- we print vintage colorfull designs using our homemade printer in 4, 5 copies, we put a layer of varnish on each page to fix the colors and we cut floral patterns in magazines.

5- coat the wood plate with mod-podge and put one pattern sheet at a time by carrefully removing the air bubbles, we put the other sheets by connecting the motives. Once the mod-pofge glue under the leaves is well dry, we put a layer with a sponge or a paint brush over the paper leaves, then we composes an ornament with the magazines flowers and glue it with our mod-podge.

6- sand a wooden flower (from a child's wood toy) or we take any other handle, we paint it in blue, we stick a pearl for the heart and we stick it on the lid

7- we get a rectangular wooden frame (I had, by chance, a blue one), saw it in 2 pieces and sand the cut parts that are finaly painted in blue

8- we glue identical patterns to those of the cover on the frame that will serve as feet to the table using mod-podge, once the paper is dry, we varnish the 2 half frames and we glue them on the wooden box sides

9- Now you can drill and screw the handle and the feet. If the wooden frame looks a bit light, add metal angles to reinforce it.

10- a conical sanding tip is passed all the way along the groove and the 3 edges of the plate are also sanded, which will slide in so that it can easily be inserted into it.

11- we have a nice side table with vitamin colors on which we can put down a lamp, trinkets, magazines and in which we can arrange all kinds of objects

Side table with storage under its sliding shelf. Painted and varnished wood in fuchsia and turquoise, patterns adorning the tablet and feet. This storage unit can be moved according to your desires, it will be useful and decorative in every room of the house, its interior locker can accommodate books, trinkets, toys, children's toys, sewing materials, products of care and all sorts of objects.Recovery of a large wooden plate with varnished decorative motifs, which opens by sliding it thanks to a painted wooden flower, in relief.
