DIY Farmhouse Coffee Table {IKEA Hack}

October 9, 2015 by Cheyenne 1 Comment

IMG_8522We are slowly but surely getting our 1980’s-fabulous house updated. The living room is going to be one of the last rooms that gets updated because, honestly, the thought of painting all that paneling makes me want to just burn the place down.

So instead of focusing on all the big projects that have to be done in that room, I focused on a smaller, more manageable project I knew we could get done in a weekend.

IMG_8089First we bought the Lack table from IKEA for less than $50. It was super easy to put together and a great size for our space.

IMG_8092 IMG_8093IMG_8095Next we picked up a few 1X6 and 2X6 pine boards from Lowe’s. I had hubby cut them down to an inch longer than the top of the Lack table (I wanted just a bit of a lip on the table top). Then we glued and nailed the boards down on the top of the table.

IMG_8512 IMG_8514Finally, I stained the pine boards with Rust-Oleum Ultimate Wood Stain in weathered gray and sealed it with a matte polyurethane. I let the poly cure for the recommended 7 days and then decorated!

IMG_8519 IMG_8518I think it turned out well for such and easy and inexpensive project. Now if we could only find the time and energy to paint those orangey wood walls…they are the stuff of nightmares, y’all. Ugh.

What cheap and easy projects have you been up to lately?
