Remember my craft table I shared in my last post?
I got it all finished up!!
Here it is…
Here is how I finished it all up!!
I took my three separate pieces up into my loft where my table will be and put the top piece of mdf on my two bases. I go everything lined up perfectly and then used a 1 1/4″ wood screw on each corner to secure the top. I attached the screws from the underside of my bases so you wouldn’t see them on the top.
I then added my hidden shelves by attaching 1×2 to the sides of my bases. I did two on each side to build 2 shelves.
From the front…
Then I added my shelves. I had some scrap wood for these and did not bother painting it because nobody but me will see it… Whoop!
When I attached my shelves I placed them 1/4″ back from the front of the table. I did this for my next step.
Next I added my bead board. I had leftover from my last table project and I painted it in the garage before attaching it. I cut mine to fit just into my open space and attached it with my nailer to the back of the shelves.

And a look from the backside…
I then added a 1×3 to both the top and the bottom to trim it out. I had scraps in my garage I used.
After attaching my top and bottom I added my sides using 1×2.
I then caulked the trim and painted it to match the blue of the table. I loved it at this point but thought I could chic it up just a bit more!
I bought a $7 wood scroll from Lowe’s and painted it.
After it dried I used my hot glue gun (don’t tell) to attach it to my bead board.
I found baskets at Michael’s 40% off and added them. Now I am ready to add all my junk important crafting supplies 🙂
What do you think?!?
I love it!! I made my bottom side shelves just a bit taller than the plans to fit both my sewing machines. It will be so nice to finally get my stuff out of my kitchen, dining room, bedroom and closet 🙂

I love it! It turned out beautiful!
really really really fantastic. I am so dreaming of a day when I will have time to do something like this. 🙂 Thanks for sharing.
Love it!! I saw a table just like that at Macy's and think about it every time it comes to thinking of my craft room
I tried finding the plans for this project but they are not there! Do you have link to this specific project?
I was inspired by your post when you began this project. I'll be giving you credit when I finish mine. Love how yours turned out.
WOW!! I absolutely LOVE it…I want to build it now.
Ana White is fabulous. We just built our bed thanks to her plans!
This is amazing! I want to make one sooo bad! I'm just not that handy. Maybe I'll ask my father-in-law! 🙂 I've been on the look out for a desk, and just haven't found one that was exactly what I want. If I make one I can make it exactly what I want. Love this!
Looks amazing. I wish I could summon your motivation to finish my own craft space… sigh.
