You’ll probably also never find a chicken named ‘Beauty’ photobombing in the background of your latest catalog either. I mean, the Pottery Barn version is on sale for $279. These paints are self-priming, don’t require a sealer and are suitable for outdoors, so….that means I’m done! It pairs so well with the dark, almost black, metallic gray on the bottom. Plus, I wasn’t left trying to fill holes with “stainable” filler that I have yet to be satisfied with.Īnd, in the end, it was just the best choice. It’s called Lazy Linen and I can’t think of a better description for a summer color. Instead of staining the top, which I considered, I really liked the idea of using this gray (almost white) for the top. After filling in the holes and sanding it was time for paint. Then nailed on the slats in between the frame area. Nailed on the top starting with the frame pieces with a 1/2″ overhang on all four sides. I used a quarter to create uniform gaps between each of the sections. This way I could fill in the holes the brad nailer leaves behind, I did paint the tops of the boards after they were attached. This way I didn’t have to worry about trying to paint it after it was attached to the base. But it was as easy as that to achieve the look of a metal base.Īfter ripping the cedar fence planks I went ahead and painted two coats of paint on the undersides, ends and sides. Smooth with zero brush strokes it took two coats to achieve the coverage I was going for. This thick formula means a little goes a long way but it was still super easy to apply and relatively quick to dry. To create a faux metal look I used Country Chic Paint’s Metallic Cream in Trigger. Like I said, this table doesn’t boast a metal frame but that doesn’t mean it can’t look like it. Once the table was assembled, and square, the braces (for the top slats to attach to) were added with pocket hole screws from the bottom so that you can’t see them. I used wood screws to secure the bottom of the base, from the bottom, so that no screws would show. 1 by 10 pieces of wood in lengths of at least 6 foot. The base put together using 3/4 pocket holes for all but the bottom sections. If you want to make your own outdoor side tables, here is my supply list: 2 by 2 inch pieces of wood. 2 – 2 3/4 x 14 1/2 (short sides of top frame).2 – 2 3/4 x 20 1/16 (long sides of top frame).9 – 16 1/4 (7 pictured plus two additional for braces, as noted by two shaded bars in pic above).Two long cedar planks and two shorter to create the frame of the top and six cedar planks ripped to a smaller width to create slats for the top. I used ripped (in half) 2x4s to create the base and ripped (varying widths, as noted below) cedar fencing planks for the top. I decided that if a 18.5″ h and a 19.25″ sq table was good enough for Pottery Barn it was good enough for me.
