I've been searching for a console table for almost 2 years. Something simple that a stool can slide under. Something I like. Something that doesn't cost a fortune. Not an easy feat, especially in Cranbrook!
With no luck I started looking at DIY ideas and found this:

It was love at first site (of the table and the dog!). This simple table is exactly what I had been searching for and I'm definitely going to make one. I've found 28" high hairpin legs on
Hairpinlegs.com and
Etsy but I prefer the less common 3 rod style so I think I'll order these:
While searching online for legs I came across a lot of beautiful furniture with hairpin legs. Furniture that's not cheap! Similar (ok, almost identical) console tables typically sell for about $400-$600. Maybe I need to go into the hairpin leg furniture business?
Now I want to use hairpin legs for everything. A new kitchen table? A bench for the mudroom? A bedside table?
The options are limitless, but one project at a time. So on to the console, or at least the ordering of the legs. I'll post pictures when it's done.
