SK's Half There Table

SK's  Half  There  Table.

I needed a little table in my tiny, tiny bath. I had just under 20" next to the toilet. I needed a little lamp for a night light. I could have just plugged in a little night light, but I wanted something a little prettier.
                                      

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.

I have used Lowes black wrought iron twisted railings and feet parts for handrails. Here are the parts links below.

1 Single Basket Balusters

2 Double Basket Baluster

9 Shoe

1 Round Pine

                           

Cut the round wood in half.  And sand.

I used 2-1 basket balusters and  1-1basket baluster. Each legs needs three shoes.

Measure the rod and use a corresponding drill size. Locate the legs evenly from edge of wood.

  

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.

For this project I knew I was going to be sanding back, so I painted the base color red. I then coated a top color of green and sanded.

I will be using Modern Masters Metal Effects Paint in iron copper. This metal effects paint will give me the turquoise effect I am looking for. I will then age it to rust. Looks and feels just like rusted old iron.

I'm letting this rest for a couple of days so the paint and sealer can cure. Then I will tackle the metal effects of patina-ed copper From Modern Master Metal Effects paint.
