Beachy Console Table | DIY Friday
Hey there, I hope you are having a great week. It’s Friday so no matter what, things are looking up! It’s DIY Friday so I’m sharing our latest furniture baby, a DIY Console Table that cost just about $50 to build and it looks sooooo good.
Ever since we got our TV stand I’ve been really attracted to a lighter stained weathered looking wood. It has a beachy feel that is casual and cozy. Our previous console table didn’t really mesh well with the vibe of the room so I was excited to have a little free time in order to build a table that works better in this space.
You can see what a dramatic difference this is for the space. Hello, light and bright.

Okay – here’s how we built the DIY Console Table
Supplies Needed:
- 1x2x8 boards
- 2x2x6 boards
- Miter saw
- Drill
- Wood glue
- Kreg jig
- 1 1/2 in Kreg screws
- Varathane Sunbleached Stain
- Minwax Special Walnut Stain
- Clamps
The size of the table was modeled from the existing table we had. I determined I wanted it to be a few inches longer and taller. We began with the top of the console table – after cutting (7) 1x2x47.5 pieces for the top – the top is created by gluing 7 boards together. We used clamps to hold the boards tightly together.
Next, we attached the legs (4) pieces of 2x2x33 use the Kreg jig and 1 1/2 inch kreg screws.
You really could stop right there and just add stain and you would have a beautiful table.
We added some cross braces to the back with some extra 1×2 we had.
We finished the whole thing with poly and let it cure for a day or so.
I can’t even tell you how much I love this table, you guys! I loveeeeee this table.
What are you DIYing? Have a great weekend!
So cute! Love the DIY table and the finish, Chelsea!
Thank you so much, Jen!! I love it!
Nice !!! This wooden center tables is so pretty and popular these days in the market.
Can I ask what kind of wood you used? It came out SO pretty.
Hi Jennifer, if my memory serves me correctly it’s select pine. We just picked it up from Home Depot!
Hello!
What are the dimensions on this? I am looking to make a desk but would like to use this design.
Hi Gina, I do not think this table would make a sufficient desk, size-wise. The top is about 48×15 and it’s 35 inches tall.
